Scalar Core is a deliberately simple Python/SQLite starter app using Bottle and Peewee, with vendored dependencies and no build step. It provides a small single-tenant CRM template (clients, tasks, comments, attachments, notifications, AI chat) meant as a clean foundation to fork and build on. The emphasis on readability and AI-agent compatibility is a refreshing counter-trend to framework bloat.

Target audience: backend devs, indie hackers, full-stack developers, AI coding tool users
