A simple blogging platform built with Flask, SQLite, and Bootstrap 5.
Blog App is a functional blogging web application where users can register, log in, and create blog posts using a rich-text editor (CKEditor). Posts can be managed through editing and deleting, while visitors can leave comments on individual entries. It was designed to practice core web development concepts with Flask, covering authentication, CRUD operations, and responsive UI.

- 📝 Create, edit, and delete blog posts
- 💬 Comment system for posts
- 🖊️ Rich-text editor integration with CKEditor
- 🎨 Responsive UI with Bootstrap 5
- 💾 Lightweight database with SQLite
- Backend: Flask (Python)
- Frontend: Bootstrap 5, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
- Database: SQLite
- Libraries: Flask-WTF, Flask-Login, Flask-SQLAlchemy, Flask-CKEditor
