MkDocs is a so-called static site generator that uses Python to turn your Markdown files into HTML. It is a great tool to document your projects and works nicely with GitHub Pages.
#43: Add Security Headers to Your Flask Application
Sooner or later our Flask application will be on the internet. The earlier we address security issues the better it is. Today we look at a first simple measure to add security headers.
