This is a skeleton web application using the MongoDB, Flask, backbone.js, bootstrap.js stack. You can use it as a starting point to create your own web app based on this stack.
To create your own application based on this one, first create a new git repository (e.g. on github). Next, clone this repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/elplatt/FlaskBackbone-Skeleton.git MyApp
If you would like to create a repository for your new app, first create an empty git repository. Then change the origin on the cloned repo to the repo for your new app, and push.
$ cd MyApp
$ git remote rm origin
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/myuser/MyApp.git
$ git push -u origin master
This example will push a fresh fork of the repo to myuser's MyApp repo.
To install this app, first install the dependencies, and then create a configuration file.
pip install requirements.txt
To configure, copy the sample configuration file and fill it in with your info.
$ cp app.config.sample app.config
