Flask on Google Colab, A free web app server

Flask on Google Colab

Colab is strong and famous by its support of GPU/TPU. However, with Flask, it can be a web app server. That's very cool!

Expose the localhost to a public temporary url that can be shared with all around the world. That's so cool!
