Web App next step?

after I load web app with python script and flask and try to run. All I get is "Hello from Flask". What am I missing?

If my assumption is correct you want to say that

  1. You created a Flask app.
  2. Changed the code.
  3. Saved the code in the web IDE.

The next step would be to go to the web tab and hit the reload button.

Let me know if this helped or let us know what did you do step by step to get a better idea of what are you actually doing.

many thanks for prompt response. I fear I am not as far ahead as I thought. I have a webapp which contains my python script and a generated flask.py. If I try to run that on my domain I get a "hello from Flask" response. I am lost to know what I should do to continue. Thanks again Fred (Windsor UK)
