Summary

With the help of Python, Flask, and Contentful, this article demonstrates how to create a Contentful-powered Flask app that can be turned into a static site using Frozen-Flask, allowing for fast deployment with minimal hosting costs. The app allows users to view a recipe from grandma's kitchen, including chocolate cake and pancakes, which is stored in Contentful's Content Delivery API. The app connects to Contentful using an access token, retrieves the recipe data, and renders it on a minimalist template, showcasing how static sites can be generated with little or no hosting costs, making it an attractive option for developers looking to improve their workflow.
