Launch Server in Debug Mode

Flask comes with the ability to run the app using a development server. This is useful for testing, but should not be used in production.

• Launch the app (NOTE: The code specifies port 8000) python app.py

• Open a web browser and load http://localhost:8000

The repo contains a Github Action that will deploy your app to https://webapps.cs.moravian.edu/ whenever you push to Github. You should NOT edit the files in the .github folder.
