      Thanks. I have watched the video but I still think hosting a love version somewhere would be an excellent idea. If you would like me to run it locally and give you some feedback, send me an email (my contact details in my HN profile) and I will do so.

Very interesting and well documented. I like it. It's so refreshing when you see a well documented project.

This seems amazing - is anyone familiar with a similar project for Flask?

  Thanks, I only work with django so, don't know any similar project on flask.

  3-21 requests per hour doesn't seen to be enough to even support development & debugging by a single person.

this is why django is so powerful, I joke that if the team uses Django, whenever we do roadmap planning for any feature, the first step is to try "pip install new-feature-1" :D
