HIVE is not a popular platform, we all have to accept that. It says 'over 40' now and that's still not many. Getting people to read your stuff is even harder, time is a precious commodity.

Like you, I have found using Python/Flask on my website a real hassle. Instead, I use a combination of Javascript, PHP and MySQL.

I tried to host this with Flask some time ago, and did learn something.. but what a pain in the arse, passing variables. To the web from Python and back again, so much hassle.

I never got around trying Django, but it seems to be the same idea.
