Social Network App

Setup

The first thing to do is to clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/kingmathers92/django-social-app.git
$ cd django-social-app

Create a virtual environment to install dependencies in and activate it:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source env/Scripts/activate

Then install the dependencies:

(env)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Note the (env) in front of the prompt. This indicates that this terminal session operates in a virtual environment set up by virtualenv.

Once pip has finished downloading the dependencies:

(env)$ cd project
(env)$ python manage.py runserver

And navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/login

Walkthrough and motivation

One of my projects from the cs50web course with extra and work in progress features. Connected my app with fast deployment and connection to a Postgres database using @Railway. You can create an account, post pictures or a status, follow/unfollow other users, search for other users, like/unlike users you only follow, delete and edit your own posts and comments on posts.

To Do🔧:

• Issue with static files storage to be fixed !important
• Edit profile
• Automatically have as standard profile and background pic as soon as you create user.
• Chat feature using websocket
• Sound effects for sure
• Hashtags to browse topics(like twitter)
