A Python Flask REST API implementing a hybrid recommendation engine that combines collaborative filtering and content-based filtering using custom mathematical implementations.

Strengths

The core Python logic in `engine.py` is well-structured, mathematically sound, and implements standard algorithms (Cosine Similarity, Pearson Correlation) from scratch without heavy dependencies. The separation of concerns between the API (`app.py`) and business logic (`engine.py`) is clean.

Weaknesses

The project suffers from a disjointed architecture with an unused R component and a frontend that does not integrate with the backend API. There is no data loading mechanism, relying instead on hardcoded demo data, which limits its practical utility for production use.
