 # Day 47 - Let's build an App in Python
+
+Let's create a simple blog app with the help of [Flask](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/) that supports posts in [markdown.](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/)
+
+## Initiating virtual env and installing packages
+
+Let's create a directory for our blog project. After you have created your project directory, create virtual environment using the following commands:
+- Windows
+  ``` bash
+  ```
+- Linux//MacOs
+  ``` bash
+  ```
+  
+Now let's use `pip` to install required modules and packages that we will be using in this project.
+``` bash
+pip install flask markdown
+```
+
+## Creating the flask app
+
+First, create a new Flask app:
+
+``` python
+from flask import Flask, render_template
+import markdown
+
+app = Flask(__name__)
+```
+
+Define a route for the home page:
+``` python
+@app.route('/')
+def home():
+    return render_template('index.html')
+```
+
+Create a directory called posts and add some Markdown files with blog post content.
+
+Define a route to handle requests for individual blog posts:
+
+``` python
+@app.route('/posts/<path:path>')
+def post(path):
+    with open(f'posts/{path}.md', 'r') as file:
+        content = file.read()
+        html = markdown.markdown(content)
+        return render_template('post.html', content=html)
+```
+
+Create templates for the home page and individual blog posts:
+- `home.html`:
+
+``` html
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head>
+    <title>My Blog</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+    <h1>My Blog</h1>
+    {% for post in posts %}
+    <h2><a href="/posts/{{ post }}">{{ post }}</a></h2>
+    {% endfor %}
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+- `post.html`:
+
+``` html
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html>
+<head>
+    <title>{{ title }}</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+    <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
+    <div>{{ content|safe }}</div>
+</body>
+</html>
+```
+
+Modify the home route to display a list of blog post titles:
+
+``` python
+@app.route('/')
+def home():
+    posts = []
+    for file in os.listdir('posts'):
+        if file.endswith('.md'):
+            title = file[:-3]
+            posts.append(title)
+    return render_template('index.html', posts=posts)
+```
+
+
