The ability to get a product to market quickly and testing the service are hallmarks in this landscape. SaaS Pegasus makes it possible not just to build your demo, but to get product-ready in weeks not months. That is what SaaS Pegasus helped us do at Savvy Education Inc. We were able to go from 0 to 1 in 3 weeks, building on top of Pegasus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Pegasus?

Good question! Pegasus is a starter template/boilerplate that uses Cookiecutter to provide a completely customized Django starter project. Instead of starting with Django's default skeleton project, you start with a whole bunch of extra work done for you!

Check out this video to see how easy it is to get up and running with Pegasus in under five minutes.

Who is Pegasus for?

In short, Pegasus is for developers who want to jump start their projects.

For a longer treatment of this question, see "Is Pegasus right for me?"

Can I use Pegasus on my existing project's codebase?

Sadly, not easily.

Pegasus is primarily for new projects and is not designed to integrate into existing codebases. You can still use it as a reference and get value from the examples gallery, but this might involve a fair bit of copy/paste. You've been warned!

What if I decide I don't like it after I buy it?

We don't want you to be disappointed! If Pegasus isn't what you expected you can email us within 14 days for a full refund—no questions asked.

Well, we might ask you why you didn't like it so we can make it better in the future, but you don't have to answer and you'll still get your money back right away.

Do I have to use React?

Nope!

Most of Pegasus is built with standard Django views and templates, and the majority of functionality has minimal amounts of JavaScript.

For the parts of Pegasus that leverage JavaScript to provide a modern user experience, Pegasus lets you to choose between React and HTMX. HTMX is a great on-ramp to modern web applications for Django developers and requires no JavaScript knowledge whatsoever!

Pegasus also ships with a Webpack pipeline to build the front-end, and so swapping in a different JavaScript framework—or using none at all—is as simple as modifying a few config files. Pegasus even ships with a Vue.js example to demonstrate how easy this is!

What if my question isn't answered here?
