It seems overkill to have a node server running alongside the website. Thinking about using Flask-SocketIO instead of node with Socket.IO. I had limitations earlier, due to the difficulty with installation of dependencies on a school laptop, but now it should be fine. Code will probably be nicer/more consistent than the hacky, last-minute code that I threw together to finish the project. If this is implemented, I can remove the api key system. One caveat is that, to my knowledge, I would not be able to host on Python anywhere.
