# Worblehat
## What?
Worblehat is a simple library management system written specifically for Programvareverkstedet.
## Why?
Programvareverkstedet is a small community with many books and games. A simple web platform is needed to manage the library. We need to know who owns each item, if we can loan it out and where it is.
## How?
The entire application is written in flask.
Flask functions as a web server, and uses an ORM(SQLAlchemy) to store the data in an SQLite database.
The resulting web page is rendered on the server by jinja templates in flask.
