I made this on mobile, and one monolithic file was how I can quickly iterate and test each feature.
Every time I added a new feature I had to test it's function to test if it was properly implemented and exactly what I wanted. Keeping it all one file means I could copy paste it into the terminal. Running it overwrites all the home directory instantly with all my updates across the python, db, html, css.
