| You may notice that Etiquette doesn't have a version number anywhere. That's because I don't think it's ready for one. I am using this project to learn and practice, and breaking changes are very common. | You may notice that Etiquette doesn't have a version number anywhere.

|  | ### Project Structure | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | - `etiquette`   | ||||||
|  |     The core backend package. | ||||||
|  | - `frontends`   | ||||||
|  |     Ideally the backend should be frontend-agnostic. Even though the Flask interface is my primary interest, it should not feel like it must be the only one. Therefore I place it in this folder to indicate that other frontends are possible too. | ||||||
|  |     - `etiquette_flask`   | ||||||
|  |     This folder represents the flask server as somewhat of a black box, in the sense that you can move it around and just run the contained launch file. | ||||||
|  |         - `etiquette_flask`   | ||||||
|  |         This is the package that contains all of the site's actual API code. | ||||||
|  | - `utilities`   | ||||||
|  |     For other scripts that will be used with etiquette databases, but are not part of the library itself. | ||||||
