An iteration from the First News App tutorial published on ireapps/first-news-app. Mostly, it's the same app but simplified of some software engineering conventions (test.py, Travis, using FrozenFlask to generate a static app) and the tutorial documentation that was found in /docs
It also contains a few boilerplate files needed to get started on Heroku:
runtime.txt- specifies the version of Python to use other than the default of 2.7.x. Heroku officially only supports 3.6.1, but even though this lesson was written using Python 3.5, you shouldn't have any compatibility issues...Procfile- specifies the command Heroku should run to get the app going, i.e.python app.py
- Have Python 3.x installed (preferably via Anaconda)
- Have Flask 0.11+ (this comes with Anaconda)
- Be able to access your operating system's command-line interface to run
python app.py
- Install a text editor designed for programming, such as Github's Atom Text Editor.
- Have an account on Heroku.

Widespread looting, assault, arson, and killings occurred during the riots, and estimates of property damage were over $1 billion. Order was only restored after members of the California Army National Guard, the 7th Infantry Division, and the 1st Marine Division were called in to stop the rioting when local police could not control the situation. In total, 58 people were killed during the riots, more than 2,000 people were injured, and more than 11,000 were arrested. LAPD chief of police Daryl Gates, who had already announced his resignation by the time of the riots, took much of the institutional blame.
