## Overview

Vino is a Flask app for browsing popular Vine videos or videos under a tag, plus a reusable Vine API client. The main flow renders the wall, fetches paged JSON through the app’s API routes, retrieves timeline records from Vine, and displays and rotates videos in the browser. The README and sampled source support these features; template internals and frontend wiring beyond the sampled JavaScript are not shown.

Main entry points: [`app.py`](https://github.com/starlock/vino/blob/master/app.py) (JSON API routes), [`vine.py`](https://github.com/starlock/vino/blob/master/vine.py) (Vine client), [`static/js/vino.js`](https://github.com/starlock/vino/blob/master/static/js/vino.js) (Wall renderer), [`templates/tag.html`](https://github.com/starlock/vino/blob/master/templates/tag.html) (Wall template)
