zachee / missive

Notepad app built on Flask

Missive Notepad

Note taking web app based on the Flask tutorial found here. This is just a little app created to help familiarize myself with Flask and SQLalchemy. It is not really intended to be used in any way in its current state.

Building the Database

You can initially build the missive database by running factory.py as the main module

python missive/factory.py

I suggest downloading sqlite3 to insure that the DB was built properly

Running the app

This app uses a python setup file so it can be installed like any other program. From the top level directory:

pip install --editable .

This program uses the Flask app factory pattern so it can be run from the runner module:

export FLASK_APP=missive.run
export FLASK_DEBUG=true  # if you want debugging enabled
flask run
