HW5: Flask Webpage (Twitter clone)

For this project I've used Python (flask), SQL, CSS, HTML and Jinja2 to create a WEBPAGE that acts as a social network very similar to Twitter. Users can create accounts and post messages, which will be seen by everyone.

The website was populated with 20 accounts that posted 20 posts each. I used my propaganda generator from previous assignments to do that. I connected my Flask app to Python Anywhere, so you can visit The Website The python file that initializes the database and the database files were not included in this repository. I have developed this webpage to be safe against some HTML injection attacks and SQL injection attacks, but there is still a lot of room for improvmnet!
