Only one user is supported. +2. when the user is logged in they can add new entries to the page + consisting of a text-only title and some HTML for the text. This HTML + is not sanitized because we trust the user here. +3. the page shows all entries so far in reverse order (newest on top) and + the user can add new ones from there if logged in. + +We will be using SQLite3 directly for that application because it's good +enough for an application of that size. For larger applications however +it makes a lot of sense to use `SQLAlchemy`_ that handles database +connections in a more intelligent way, allows you to target different +relational databases at once and more. You might also want to consider +one of the popular NoSQL databases if your data is more suited for those. + +Here a screenshot from the final application: + +.. image:: ../_static/flaskr.png + :align: center + :class: screenshot + :alt: screenshot of the final application + +Continue with :ref:`tutorial-folders`. + +.. _SQLAlchemy: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ |
