Basic Flask app

This repository contains a simple Flask app.

Look inside app.py to see what's going on.

To get it running:

$ pip install flask
$ python app.py

Exercises

• Create a form that asks for the user's name and greets them
• Create a JSON endpoint that returns the current time, and a jQuery front-end that inserts it into a HTML page
• Use peewee to combine the above:
  • Record the user's name, time they last visited, and visit count
  • Ask the user to 'log in' with their name and increment the counter
  • Display a greeting and the total number of times they have logged in
  • If the total logins meets some arbitrary thresholds, display different messages
