Why use Frappe?

Frappe is the underlying framework for ERPNext (one of the top open source ERP systems). Open Source Enterprise systems are on the growth and there is a great opportunity for companies either looking to build in-house systems or building practices that help other businesses. ERP is a core business stack along with Email and the next frontier for service providers in open source. There are already a lot of businesses that are looking for developers familiar with Frappe.

Frappe framework provides an architecture that allows you to build production-ready apps in very quickly.

Why another framework?

Unlike Python frameworks which are mostly server-side, Frappe has a rich AJAX based client library and also supports socketio. The biggest advantage of Frappe is the number of UI features that are available out of the box.

Also I started writing Frappe in 2006 when the only other choice was Zope!

Frappe Framework is "Made in India" licensed as MIT, used to built ERPNext, a popular open source ERP application.

Frappe is listed on GitHub showcase of web application framework and is backed by a community of more than 3000 users.
