Building a Simple Birthday App with Flask-SQLAlchemy

A simple Flask application is being developed to manage birthdays independently from Facebook, utilizing Flask-SQLAlchemy to handle data operations. The app involves creating a model to store birthday information, with data parsed from an exported Facebook calendar file and stored uniformly for ease of querying. The application currently features basic routes to display upcoming birthdays within 14 days and birthdays for each month, leveraging datetime objects for efficient querying. Future improvements include implementing notification features, expanding CRUD functionality, and adding a related model to track notifications, with the potential use of Flask-SQLAlchemy's foreign key capabilities. The project serves as a practical example of employing Flask-SQLAlchemy for database interactions and offers resources for further learning about both Flask-SQLAlchemy and standard SQLAlchemy.
