> [!WARNING]
> The falco CLI isn't stable at the moment; stability is expected with the 1.0.0 release. I'm still making numerous changes quite frequently. If you're currently using it, remember to run `pip install --upgrade falco-cli` from time to time.
Falco is a Django-centric toolkit designed to enhance the development experience. The CLI offers commands for initiating new projects, generating simple CRUD views for rapid prototyping, and more. Additionally, it provides a collection of guides to address common issues in web development specifically tailored to Django.
## The CLI
This is a set of commands to help you throughout the lifecycle of your django project development, from bootstrapping a new project using modern tools like [htmx](https://htmx.org), [hatch](https://github.com/pypa/hatch), [tailwindcss](https://tailwindcss.com/), to generating CRUD views for your models and a few utilities that might help during deployment.
For a brief introduction to the user experience of the CLI, visit this [page](https://falco.oluwatobi.dev/the_cli/usage.html).

## The guides
> [!NOTE]

If you don't find any use of the CLI, I hope you will in these guides. This is a collection of guides that address common issues in web development, specifically tailored to Django. Each guide provides solutions, patterns, and approaches that are relevant to Django projects. It is similar to the [Django topic guides](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/), but instead of focusing on components of the framework like `forms`, `models`, `views`, etc., it focuses on more general topics like `task queues`, `deployment`, `realtime`, etc.

- [Task Queues and Schedulers](https://falco.oluwatobi.dev/guides/task_queues_and_schedulers.html)
