CS50 Project 1 : Book Review

Website deployed to https://whispering-sierra-16856.herokuapp.com/

Description

A simple book review website built using Flask, Heroku and the Goodreads API. The system is able to register and authenticate users, and query for books by title, author or ISBN. Users may also view reviews by others and/or leave one themselves. This system has been built keeping in mind the requirements of Project 1 for Harvard's CS50 Web Programming.

For local development

• pip install -r requirements.txt
• cd <name of folder>

  • FLASK_APP = application.py
