I love Flask! Definitely a go-to for hook listeners to trigger further scripting.

Man I am so confused, how was this different from an API, because that's how I built my APIs

Interesthing, it can be put on free server like render or something and have front end appending links for txt file reports with a timestamp, then you would open links and have readable reports, of course you have to write proper function to parse that json file into something more readable

How do I have all the results from print be forwarded to a text file?

Great video! How would you approach the validation from the Flask app in case you have you used a client secret? Also have you used Quart (async drop-in replacement for Flask)?

I thought you will implement the webhook logic like in the GitHub in Flask, not just to handle the response from GitHub webhook :D

Nice video for webhook. One question for this video, once my server recieved the github result, how can I use it on the frontend? Is webhook more for backend? If frontend wants to do some 'receive' thing, should socket be the only way?

It feels like everyone is making videos for themselves, I understand about flask and webhooks I do not understand.
