flaskysockets

Barebones SPA template for websockets communication with flask

This has been done countless times already.. I did my own to learn more about websockets and to keep it dead simple and stripped down. My goal was to make it easy to integrate into something like a initializr.com template.

Built using input from blogs, stackoverflow, etc:

Can also have flask-socketio package up the data as JSON. More info:
