MLH-Portfolio

This is a flask portfolio project for an internal hackathon in the MLH Fellowship.

Tech domain

Although we were able to deploy our website in Heroku, we were unable to add the custom domain we registered with .tech because of the verification issues of our debit/credit cards. We have registered the 'mlh-portfolio.tech' domain with .tech and if the verification issues get resolved in Heroku, we will add the custom domain to our flask application currently deployed on Heroku.

Inspiration

As students, we understand how difficult it can be to search for resources so we decided to make this blog to make access easier for students and also use this opportunity to improve our skills.
