This app does the basic task of showing the Stock Prices for the stocks-added.
Video Explaining Project: https://youtu.be/CK5WG3NKcVw
My project is all about solving the problem for those people who wish to monitor real-time stock prices of some particular stocks. It uses an API from IEX Cloud to get the prices for stock added. It also have a backend to store the stocks name added by user and the user can also delete the stocks when needed.
The project mainly uses Flask for backend and sqlite as database. The frontend of the application is quite simple using only HTML and CSS.
My main motive behind this application is that when I have some stock bought and I wish to see their consolidated prices at one place and watch them in real time, there is no place to go to. This web app allowed me to do that using only some lines of code and a little logic.
Have a look over the code and improvements are heartly Welcomed.

Personal Experience:
While making this project function perfectly well, I encountered various bugs. The application used to work perfectly well once and then suddenly seeing a lot of errors on the screen.
Many a times I got demotivated to leave all this in between but then I used to realise this is what a programmer has to survive every single day.
Bugs are a part of work and they must be seen as some problems to solve but not as what is not allowing you to do anything.
Every bug just require a calm mind to think for it rather than roaming all around with the bug.
