Add User

Logic:

  • Extract required fields (username, password, full name, birthday) from the POST request.

  • Extract optional fields (email, avatar) using request.form.get.

  • Hash the plain text password into an SHA-1 string and save it in the JSON.

  • Write the new data to the JSON file.

Frontend:

  • Four mandatory fields: username (for login), password, full name, birthday (not currently used).

  • Optional email field (used for email notifications).

  • Avatar selection: choose from six avatars, replace files in static/icons with appropriately named PNG files (avatar1.png, avatar2.png, etc.) if you want different ones.
