An mvp of a tractor lending khata for villagers in North India - written mostly via ChatGPT

khatabook-mvp based on Flask

To wipe off previous db:

rm -rf instance/ migrations/ __pycache__/

To reinit the db and start dev server

flask db init
flask db migrate -m "init db"
flask db upgrade
flask --app app run

Things to do when going live with something like this

• Figure out how to make this mobile devices friendly (DONE)
• Do a security assessment
• Establish data governance (take backup periodically)
• Write a runbook for debugging issues like internal server errors (where are logs? Will there be any metrics?)
• Perhaps restructure this into blueprints and add manage.py to allow running a shell and doing db operations. Will improve support ability to fix things.

Testing locally

The db is already pushed with one test account : <8800.....9> / foo
