This project is a social network platform built using Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It allows users to interact with others by creating posts, following other users, and liking posts.
-
New Post
- Signed-in users can create new text-based posts by filling in a text area and clicking a submit button.
-
All Posts
- Users can view all posts from all users, with the most recent posts displayed first.
- Each post displays the username of the post, the content of the post, the date and time of the post, and the number of likes the post has received.
-
Profile Page
- Clicking on a username takes the user to that user's profile page.
- The profile page displays the number of followers the user has, the number of users the user is following, and all posts by the user in reverse chronological order.
- For signed-in users viewing another user's profile, a “Follow” or “Unfollow” button is available to toggle the follow status.
-
Following
- Accessible only to signed-in users.
- The “Following” link in the navigation bar shows posts from users that the current user follows.
-
Pagination
- Posts are displayed 10 per page.
- If there are more than ten posts, a “Next” button appears to navigate to older posts, and a “Previous” button allows navigation to newer posts.
-
Edit Post
- Users can edit their own posts by clicking an “Edit” button.
- Users can save the edited post, and the changes are updated asynchronously.
- Security measures ensure users cannot edit posts of other users.
-
“Like” and “Unlike”
- Signed-in users can toggle the “like” status of any post.
- The server is updated asynchronously, and the like count is displayed without reloading the page.
- Python 3.x
- Django
