• improve set up procedure. consolidate provisioning to just Docker Compose
• catch exceptions on api calls
• volumize the app folder to allow for faster development
• separate app.py file into multiple files
• local permission system - protect pages based on each user, not just whether that user is logged in
• other OAuth providers and add Facebook authentication
• integrating with another published API (e.g. Google, Wikipedia, Github etc.)
• further secure the API
• fix menu button functionality when window is non-fullscreen
