THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/ , AN EXCELLENT COURSE TO BUILDING PYTHON FLASK APPLICATIONS BY NICK JANETAKIS

This was my first Flask project, and I made good decision to base it on the course to get all the necessary docker stuff etc. as quickly 
working as possible. Nick provides excellent support for his courses, so if you feel need to learn how to build this further or any other 
Flask application, I sincerely recommend his course.
