First public hosted release v0.1.1

This version is being hosted on Ploomber as a free web application. This snapshot version is what is currently hosted.

I expect folks will put interesting or truly horrible things in there so I'll refresh it occasionally.

Here is the link for the Ploomber Hosted Quiz WebApp. All the code is sitting here in Github for anyone that wants to play around with it.

I had two personal goals for this project. One was to get this far enough along to let me import certification test questions to test myself before taking certs. So this is mostly where I wanted it. The second was to update my Python Flask, Bootstrap, CSS, and JavaScript coding skill set which has languished somewhat since my last engagement.

You will see I have additional goals in the Things to do - TODO.md which I might get around to doing.

First public release v0.1.0

This is just thrown together and will be changing dramatically as I add features and clean up the code. No part of this is production ready.

This initial release is literally what I could code up over a couple evenings while refreshing my skillset in Python/Flask/Alchemy and Bootstrap4/CSS on the fly. I have some objectives along the lines of a nice to use Multiple Choice Quiz WebApp for certification tests so you can practice ahead of a test using a timed interface with some questions.

This is currently a toy app and needs some clean up.
