Hey everyone! I'm a self-taught programmer with limited experience, and I'm currently working on a school project with my friend. We're trying to create a homework app that's simple but functional. I'm comfortable with Python and love back-end development, so I'm considering using the Flask framework for this project. My friend knows a bit of JavaScript and works with React for the front-end.
My main question is: Can I handle all the back-end work with Flask, including setting up the database with Supabase, while using React just for the front-end design? If that's not feasible, are there specific libraries you recommend for this setup? Finally, where would be the best place to host everything? Learning JavaScript is an option for me, but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. I appreciate any guidance you can provide!

You can definitely use Flask for the back-end while React handles the front-end! The back-end will manage the logic and database interactions, while React will focus on rendering UI components, like buttons. It's a common setup, and you can make it work pretty seamlessly.
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying! I’m still getting the hang of this whole setup.
