Vispr - A Simple Social Media App

Vispr is a minimalist social media application where users can share their thoughts, similar to a basic version of Twitter. This app allows users to create, edit, and delete their own "tweets" while having the ability to log in, register, and log out. Each user’s activity is isolated, meaning one user cannot interact with another user’s content.

Features

• User Authentication:

  • Users can register, log in, and log out.

• Create, Edit, and Delete Posts:

  • Users can create, modify, and delete their own posts "tweets".

• User Isolation:

  • Users can only interact with their own data, and cannot view or modify other users' content.

Technologies Used

• Django: A Python-based web framework for rapid development.
• SQLite: A lightweight relational database for local development and storage.
• Pillow: A Python imaging library used for handling image-related features.

Setup and Installation

To get this project up and running on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ishant9805/vispr.git
   cd vispr

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate    # For Linux/macOS
   venv\Scripts\activate       # For Windows

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Change to main app directory:

   cd vispr

5. Run database migrations:

   python manage.py migrate

6. Create a superuser (to access the admin panel, if needed):

   python manage.py createsuperuser

7. Run the development server:

   python manage.py runserver

8. Access the app: Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to start using Vispr.

Usage

Once the server is running, you can:

• Register for a new account.
• Log in with an existing account.
• Create new posts, edit your own, or delete them.
• Log out of your account.

Each user’s actions are restricted to their own content, with no interaction between users.

Future Enhancements

Some potential future features for Vispr, I might add:

• Allowing users to view and interact with other users' posts (e.g., liking, commenting).
• Adding media support (images, videos) for posts.
• Pagination of posts for better user experience.
• User profiles with the ability to follow others.
