• Python 3.7.6
• Flask 1.1.1
• Job handling with Redis 3.3.11 and rq 1.2.0
• Templates with Bootstrap 4.3.1
• Production and development config handling
• Editor config for Atom (better whitespacing for templates)

Install the prerequisites (Homebrew makes this very easy):

• Python 3.8.0
• pip
• virtualenv
• Redis

Create an new virtual environment and activate it.

$ virtualenv -p python3 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Use pip to install the requirements.

$ pip install -R requirements.txt

Copy the example.env.txt file to a new file called .env.

Start the Redis server. You don't need to interact with Redis once it's started.

$ redis-server

Hit CMD+D to split the terminal into two panes. Activate the virtual environment in the second pane (source venv/bin/activate). Start a new Redis worker called "app-tasks".

$ rq worker app-tasks

Back in the first pane, run the server in development mode:

$ flask run

Open the app in your browser as instructed (http://127.0.0.1:5000/).
