+### Flask
+Flask is a web framework. It tools and technology that makes it easier to build a web application. It is also a micro-framework, meaning it has a very small list of dependencies that a user needs to grow and build if they need more plug-ins.
+Writing the flask-side of this application was a fun learning experience. I already knew the python required, but I had to learn the flask to back it up. I also had to tackle each bug and issue as it arose and adapt my code as I learned better prectices for flask, such as the application factory model where seperate modules are kept as blueprints and are built together when flask run.


s/prectices/practices/r

Third sentence here is a bit of a run-on, consider breaking it up.

"built together when flask run"
It should be "when flask runs" ; consider changing the sentence structure

+
+### Database
+During the creation and testing of the application I used SQLite as a database because it was small and useful for someone wihout access to a server, or the know-how to use one.
+When I did deploy the To-Do application onto an ubuntu server, I made the switch to MySQL. SQLAlchemy made it easier to switch databases and migrate the data base in case of a change. In creating this application I learned how to create effective database tables and relationships.

semicolon is used incorrectly here, consider:
As I said above, I had no prior experience in creating or manipulating a server.
(also changed 'have' to 'had', since I assume you now have experience in the matter)

+### Server
+As I had said above; I have no experience in creating or manipulating a server.
+I used a 1GB memory vm running ubuntu 17.10. There were only a few things I needed to download and install: OpenSSH, OpenSSL, Let's Encrypt CertBot, ufw, pymysql, gunicorn, nginx, and supervisor.
+OpenSSH was useful to SSH into the server and work on it easier. OpenSSL and the Let's Encrypt CertBot were used to obtain an SSL certificate for the application. I used ufw, the uncomplicated firewall as a way to secure the website.


s/uncomplicated firewall/UncomplicatedFirewall/r
Since that is the official name of the package, it should be listed as such

+I used nginx as how I would serve my application on ports 80 and 443.


Can be phrased better:
I used nginx to facilitate serving my application on ports 80 and 443.
(or something like that)

I went through and fixed a few things based on your advice. Thanks Jeffrey

Got a few wording changes, but content overall looks fine.

+## To-Do
+The idea for To-Do came to me as a way to organize what I have to do in terms of homework and other important matters. At the time I had not heard of Trello or other similar things, but even after hearing about them I decided to continue with the creation of To-Do.
+I created To-Do with Flask, a mySQL database, and it is currently running on an ubuntu server.

Maybe "Flask is a Python web framework", at least?

"It consists of tools and technology that make building web applications easier."

Explain what the "standard way of running the application" is.
