# Flask-Silk — Adds silk icons to your Flask application or blueprint, or extension.

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 273.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Flask-Silk is a Flask extension that integrates the Silk icon set into your application as static assets. It was designed to make icon resources easily accessible within Flask applications, blueprints, or other extensions without manual asset management.

The package is in beta status and has been abandoned since 2013 with no maintenance activity for over a decade. It carries no known security vulnerabilities, but its age and lack of updates mean it has not been tested against modern Flask versions, Python releases, or contemporary web standards. The high install friction and single source distribution suggest potential compatibility or build issues.

Use it for:

- Adding Silk icons to legacy Flask applications that have not been modernized since the early 2010s
- Serving pre-bundled icon assets in a Flask app without external CDN dependencies
- Prototyping or learning Flask icon integration patterns from historical examples

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a Flask integration to serve Silk icon assets within your application, making the icon set available as static resources.

No. The package has been abandoned for over a decade with no maintenance since 2013 and no commits after 2018. High install friction, unspecified Python support, and lack of verification against modern Flask versions make it unsuitable for new projects. Consider modern icon libraries or asset pipelines instead.

## Install

pip install flask-silk
uv add flask-silk
poetry add flask-silk

## Installing Flask-Silk

Before you install: High install friction and abandoned status since 2013 with no commits after 2018. The package has not been maintained for over a decade, and the single source distribution suggests potential build or dependency issues.

License in practice: BSD license is permissive and poses no restrictions on use, modification, or redistribution in most contexts.

Quickstart:

pip install Flask-Silk

from flask import Flask
from flask_silk import Silk

app = Flask(__name__)
silk = Silk(app)

No Python version specified; compatibility with modern Python and Flask versions is unverified given the package's abandonment since 2013.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the Silk icon set version and completeness are documented or guaranteed
- Compatibility with modern Flask versions and Python releases
- Whether the icon serving mechanism works with current web standards and asset pipelines
