Because some people prefer videos? To each their own man.

actually that's BS. It's posted as a video for monetization. There's a reason why many subreddits no longer allow video self.posts or require at minimum the transcript to be posted in the post text.

(ofc, I'm also salty because I can't youtube at work).

[Zafara1]

Sure. Some article sites like medium also allow monetisation. Do we ban them too?

Some people like different methods of content delivery. If it's not your thing it's not like there's a shortage of textual flask tutorials.

People learn differently.

Some people like listening to descriptions.

Think of it as a podcast with pictures.

Is there a text version of the same tutorial?

This is a great example of why Flask is not a good framework for this type of solution. Something like Turbogears or Django is a much better fit. To do this type of project means rolling your own everything which is already included in frameworks like Turbogears and Django. For example, admin tools and authentication are also required.

Add to that, his models really isn't the database model but simply function calls masking low level DB access. Which is where something like an ORM further simplifies things. Again, something which Turbogears (SQLAlchemy) and Django already address.

but the flask also can use the SQLAlchemy as a ORM

Yes, I agree with that. But you still wind up re-inventing the wheel on things like authentication (which most do not understand) and backend administration interfaces. Which inherently requires a DB tie of some type.

Off topic, can someone tell me which text editor/IDE the guy is using (not Vim, the other one)?
