This repository could do with a README and a LICENSE/COPYING file.

Re: README. I'm not entirely sure what this repository is. If someone can walk me through it, I can create a README and do a pr.

Re: LICENSE: Skimming the code, it says it's copyright 2013 Paul and licensed under the same terms as hy. That should be more explicit and less referential. Is it good enough to copy over the LICENSE file from the hy repository? If so, I can do a pr.

Hey Paul,

Have you found out why you needed to add this "hack" in line 7 of app.hy?

I played a bit with Hy and Flask, and initially thought that it was an issue with the module's extension being .hy instead of .py (stupid, I know ;-)). After I'd found your fix, I investigated it a little and it seems that every string is just fine but "__main__". Passing __name__ (which equals to "__main__") or "__main__" (like in your example) throws an error, but when I change it to an empty string (or whatever else), the application runs correctly.

An identical version written in Python runs correctly with either string.
