Flask and Bulma Template

This code is a template for the back-end framework Flask and the front-end framework Bulma.

It is based on YouTuber Corey Schafer's Flask series. It also does NOT follow the application factory pattern; in my opinion, it is better this way.

This template is well-organized and is split into folders and files which contain code for specific uses.
