The goal is to keep track of states of a user's playlists in such a way that allows them to view previous states, restore a playlist to a previous state and clone a previous state of a playlist.
Key interactions:
- Viewing past playlists versions
- Restoring a playlist to a previous state
- Cloning a previous playlist state into a new playlist

5. get client id and client secret, from edit settings page
6. put client id and client secret in .env file
7. use either **python app.py** or **python3 app.py** to run the app
