tools: sys.http.get, sys.http.html2text, sys.find, sys.write, mongo_run, mongo_command, init_flask_project

Perform the following actions in this order:

1. Start the MongoDB database.
2. Create a collection in the Mongo instance called `headlines`.
3. Visit https://hackernews.com and get the top ten headlines.
4. Call the init_flask_project tool to set up the directories you will need.
5. Write each headline into the MongoDB collection that you created earlier called `headlines`. Write each one using a separate call to the mongo_command tool. The name of the database in Mongo that these will be written to is `headlines`. Don't forget to escape any quotation marks or apostrophes that appear in the headlines.
6. Generate a simple webserver in Python using Flask that will connect to the database and serve a single page listing all the headlines. Create it in the `headline` directory. Embed a link to the article in each headline displayed on the page.
7. Add some basic CSS styling to make the page look cool and modern. I want it to be dark themed. Style the links to be a light gray color. Make sure the page has a neat header with red accents.
