A Flask implementation of a simple website, designed to answer a burning question
is-democracy-on-fire (IDOF) is a project I started to learn a little bit about Flask, the popular web app framework for Python.
Running IDOF on your local machine is simple. Import the app
module, create an app
instance, and run it. You can do this in a python interpreter or standalone script like so:
import app
idof = app.create_app()
idof.run()
This will start Flask's own web server and make IDOF available at 127.0.0.1:5000
. If you would like to run IDOF on an Apache web server, see these instructions.
