📝 Flask MVC Notes App

A simple Notes Management Web Application built with Python and Flask, designed to demonstrate the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, RESTful API principles, and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.

---

Features

• Add, view, and list notes dynamically
• Uses MVC pattern for clean separation of logic
• RESTful routes for scalable web design
• Built with Object-Oriented Programming principles
• Lightweight and beginner-friendly project
• Data stored in memory (can easily extend to database later)

Understanding the Design

Model-View-Controller (MVC)

• Model → Manages data (NoteModel)
• View → User interface (HTML templates)
• Controller → Connects Model and View (NoteController)

⚙️ REST Architecture

Each route follows REST conventions:

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/notes	Get all notes
GET	/notes/add	Render add note page
POST	/notes/add	Add a new note

Object-Oriented Approach

The project uses classes like NoteModel and NoteController to keep code modular, reusable, and easier to maintain.

Future Improvements

• Integrate a database (SQLite or PostgreSQL)
• Add authentication (login & registration)
• Build a front-end with React or Vue
• Deploy online using Render or Railway

Learning Goals

This project is part of my personal study on:

• Building modular Flask applications
• Applying MVC and REST principles
• Practicing object-oriented Python
• Preparing for backend development roles
