This is just super useful! Thank you for making this and for making the code available in your repo.

Excellent video. Perfect balance for us newer folks. FWIW: I think I spent more time getting Github setup w VSCode for the project and https redirect (can't use local http server for OAuth2) than anything else. So I def learned a lot more than just OAuth! Great pointers on using venv and .gitignore to protect the innocent.

One of the better examples on this I have seen without a doubt! I am working on my own fitness dashboard. It would be ideal to have the authorization to be automatic. So when I log inactivity it is uploaded either through a cron job refresh button, without the copy and paste. Is this even possible? If not I will probably follow your lead except have the click here and paste section built into the UI.
