Hi Erv, I like your blog and your tech stack and I've been working on learning React.js and Vue/Nuxt since I got laid off in January. I, too, have a large board game collection and I came across the source code on Github for your board games metrics page. Thank you! I hope to work on some pages of my own with the help of your code.

Background and Questions: I'm a Python developer and I've been doing a lot of experiments with React/Vue for front-end and Django or Flask for back-end and I've found it to be performant and excellent. Since I'm not well-versed in .NET / C#, I'm challenging myself to refactor the back-end to use a Pythonic solution.

Firstly, your project is small so I'm wondering if you're using state management at all in your front-end React? I should just look at the code, huh?

Second, any thoughts refactoring your "cache updater" using Flask?
