Any plans to automate installation and set up? #43

Hello

Your app looks extremely helpful. I note that it includes some steps that look rather daunting such as:

  1. Set up local environment variables. cp example.env .env Generate FLASK_SECRET_KEY with python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex())' and add it to .env. Add GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET from the client_id and client_secret values from the client secret file created above.

Do you have any plans to package it in such a way that installation and operation is easier for people who are less technical? Thank you

Yes, eventually I would like to create a publicly accessible, hosted version of the app which would remove all of the need for technical setup. You'd simply go to a website. Unfortunately, I'm not able to invest the time required to do that anytime soon.
