Flaskr

Flaskr (sometimes referred to as the "Improved Flask Tutorial App" in the project) is an improved version of The Pallet Projects' official Flask tutorial. In addition to its original features (registering/logging-in users, creating posts, etc.), this version of Flaskr also allows users to upvote (like) posts. However, the code in this repository differs greatly from the one in the official tutorial as it heavily uses Flask-Login and Flask-SQLAlchemy.

First, git clone this repository, and navigate to the improved-flask-tutorial-app directory.
