• Explain code structure

• Request handling and HTTP

• Database handling code

• Comment schema

• Comment (Markdown) rendering using misaka and custom extensions

• Content Security Policy

• Future plans: Rewrite/Refactor, SQLAlchemy, MVC

… and other things about the server that should be documented.
