The resulting app is a simple Flask application that comes with:

• MongoEngine to connect with a MongoDB database backend
• SemanticUI and JQuery

Additionally, it creates a divisional structure using Flask's blueprints to separate the front-end part of the application from the backend. It ships with the necessary files to setup a simple API.
