Cool. I'll do the review ASAP.

When I tried to run it, it gave me an error

❯ python app.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/arpit/Downloads/temp/github-testing/secure_storage/app.py", line 22, in <module>
    limiter = Limiter(
              ^^^^^^^^
TypeError: Limiter.__init__() got multiple values for argument 'app'

does this happen with you?

Hey, apologies on the late reply, having my finals going on. About the issue you're facing, it runs fine for me though, checkout the screenshot below

However, I would suggest you try replacing the limiter's initialization from

From:

limiter = Limiter( get_remote_address, app=app, default_limits=["200 per day", "50 per hour"] )

To:

limiter = Limiter( get_remote_address, default_limits=["200 per day", "50 per hour"] ) limiter.init_app(app)
