    This week I worked on the frontend development by adding buttons to choose whether an image was real or fake. 
    I also added a textbox for the user to type out what appears fake about the image 
    when they don't know how to annotate the image. After that, I decided to start working on the dataset import.
    I realized that the data needs to be in csv format, but most people will bring a collection of images.
    Since then I have been trying to add a function to the script that creates a csv from the collection of images if 
    no csv is found. Bringing your own dataset seems a lot more challenging than I thought it would be, and I'm
    trying to make this more simple for the user. Ideally I would like to have data upload via the website 
    so that the user doesn't have to deal with anything but this could be less practical as expected.

    This week, I searched for a dataset of iris images that includes a metadata.csv file. 
    I'm currently trying to generalize this because I know not every dataset will have a csv for 
    metadata. Because of this, I added a function to generate a default metadata.csv file when it's missing. 
    To extract metadata from the images to put into the csv, I plan to use the Pillow library to access 
    the embedded EXIF data. This will ensure that even if a metadata.csv file is unavailable, 
    I can still extract necessary metadata directly from the images.
