allowing users to immediately save data onto their own devices
Aye. Not that I’d recommend doing it that way but I was basically just curious to see if JS could manage it.
dynamically change what the user sees
If you store information about the schedule they’ve set up in a cookie then yes—but I imagine it would be a lot of info for a cookie. If you intend to let users create or edit a schedule, close the tab and then come back to it later, you’ll probably want to implement that using backend server stuff ( sessions, server-side files, etc. ).
If you already know JavaScript then you may want to check out NodeJS for that rather than python+flask, since you’ll have less to pick up.
I’ll stop here because I’m afraid my thinking out loud about how I might do this could send you chasing wild geese.
No problem, good luck with all you do.

Great, thank you for all the help!
