Show HN: Mock-back end an alternative to back end services

Hi all,

I've been working on some classes and tutorials recently that need to use a backend and were filmed using firebase's free tier.

That's a great option, but I didn't want to use it, so I built this instead. It's meant to be a minimally viable backend for tutorials. I started it as a single-file flask server and made some edits over time to enhance it as needed.

Because I was sick today, I could put some time into it and split it out of its single file + add some testing. It's slipshod, but it works, and I hope it'll be useful for someone in a similar situation in the future.
