Project Description

In this mini-project, we explore how to effectively work and communicate between different components of a website. The core of our BLOG application is a Python file called APP, which encompasses a wide range of essential functionalities for a website.

With our application, users can easily register, sign in, and publish their own text content. Visitors to the site can access and engage with the posted content. On the main page, we have implemented a feature to display the number of registered users, leveraging the fetch method. Additionally, we have integrated API handling and developed a robust database to securely store user information and content. If a user forgets their password, we will send a password reset email to their registered email address. 🔐

(Although sending passwords via email carries security risks, it is a common practice during development.)

Within a single file, we have successfully implemented both the registration form and login functionality. While we have not prioritized the visual design aspect of the main page, the registration and login page features an appealing and eye-catching layout.

We sincerely hope that our Flask code provides you with valuable insights and enhances your learning experience! 💻
