My first real project crashed hard about a month ago
Honestly, I was trying to build a simple weather app with Python, following a tutorial I found online. I got everything working on my laptop, but when I tried to put it on a free hosting site, the whole thing just stopped. The API key I was using for the weather data wouldn't work on the server, and I got this big error page. I spent like two whole days just reading forum posts and trying different fixes. Tbh, I almost gave up because I felt so stuck. It turned out the hosting service had a weird rule about how you set up secret keys that the tutorial never mentioned. I had to go back and rewrite a big part of the code just to make it work somewhere else. Has anyone else run into problems like this when moving a project from your computer to the web for the first time?
