Hosted my first app

I recently hosted my app, and let me tell you, it feels nice to make something tangible after years of not being able to code. Several steps led to this point.

First, I became proficient in Python and SQL. Then I finally came up with an idea I liked, and pieced many tutorials and docs to be able to create Flask apps confidently. I'm glad I chose to learn Flask and not Django, it feels easy but has enough challenge at the beginning to feel rewarding to learn. I was using SQLite at first, I decided to use SQL later, but I didn't want to spend additional money on a server, so I went with Firebase. SQL Connect was even more challenging, because I failed a couple of times before it all finally worked, and broke, and worked, and broke, and worked again. I don't know why they came up with GraphQL, but I had to learn how to use some of it.

Next, I'll be focusing on finding users.
