## Overview

This small Flask app generates an insult when a visitor submits a POST request. At startup, it reads the insult corpus and builds a Markovify model; the route asks that model for a sentence and renders the result in the page. Source excerpts do not show template internals, so the graph limits presentation wiring to the route’s documented template render.

Main entry points: [`app.py`](https://github.com/yyyikes/insult-generator/blob/master/app.py) (Flask app and route), [`templates/index.html`](https://github.com/yyyikes/insult-generator/blob/master/templates/index.html) (Insult page), [`static/datasets/insults-cleaned.txt`](https://github.com/yyyikes/insult-generator/blob/master/static/datasets/insults-cleaned.txt) (Insult dataset)
