Tech Stack

Frontend

• HTML
• CSS (Bootstap)
• JavaScript (Mustache Templates Lib)

Backend

• Flask
• SQLalchemy
• MySQL

Alternatives Considered

1. Javascript vs Jinja2: We chose JavaScript for the frontend as it runs natively on the client browser, reducing the load on the backend server.

2. SQLalchemy vs MySQLdb: We opted for SQLalchemy as the ORM due to its user-friendliness and abstraction, eliminating the need to write raw SQL statements.
