Show HN: FSW: helpers for building apps with Flask, SQLAlchemy, and WTForms

FSW is a collection of classes and functions for building apps combining Flask, SQLAlchemy, and WTForms. The library is intended to be modular: it does not require instantiation with the app object, and its pieces are generally independent of each other.

I created the library to avoid duplication between my own Flask apps. Many of its helpers are inspired by Django. The library is currently in alpha and will hopefully be available on PyPI soon (https://github.com/pypi/support/issues/2987).

The library is divided into three components:

- fsw.views: RedirectView, TemplateView, FormView, CreateModelView, ReadModelView, ReadOneModelView, UpdateModelView, DeleteModelView

- fsw.models: ClassNameModelMixin, IDModelMixin, SaveModelMixin, CreateTimestampModelMixin, UpdateTimestampModelMixin, DeleteTimestampModelMixin, HardDeleteModelMixin

- fsw.forms: CSRFProtectModelMixin, ModelFormMixin

I would love feedback and suggestions on any part of the library, especially the more complex components (such as FormView and ModelFormMixin).
