Python-Flask MongoDB Web Catalog

This project aimed to demonstrate the flexibility of MongoDB databases for storing unstructured data, or for creating databases whose schema might change in the future. This web catalog allows users to create a new object type and store it in the database. A user can then view all items, or hone in on a specific one, view its details, and leave a review.
