Website-Blog-Server
A server application to handle the backend of the simple blog website
About this project
This website was designed for me to learn more about the basic functionality of flask. It started off as a simple blogging website which allows users to post questions and comments. However, over the course of this project, I learnt more than what I expected to and encountered several road blocks. However, as I got more into this project, I envision it to be greater than just a simple blogging website.
In the future, this project could be expanded to become a one stop daily planner for everyone and also allows them to document all of their activities and experiences. This could serve as a one stop portal for users to do regular reflections and also plan out their daily commute and activities.
Notes
This website was created using Flask. Flask is a lightweight WSGI_ web application framework. It is designed
to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to
complex applications. It began as a simple wrapper around Werkzeug_
and Jinja_ and has become one of the most popular Python web
application frameworks.
Flask offers suggestions, but doesn't enforce any dependencies or project layout. It is up to the developer to choose the tools and libraries they want to use. There are many extensions provided by the community that make adding new functionality easy.
Installing
Install and update using pip_:
pip install -U Flask
Running the website
cd <path to the app directory>
export FLASK_APP=blog.py
flask run
