#Parrot

This is a learning project that I’m doing for fun to teach myself how to build web apps. It is intended to be a kind of reddit clone. It will use Django, and probably some other stuff as well. I didn’t—well, still don’t know what to call it, so for now ‘Parrot’ will do.

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

• Git
• Python
• Node.js (with NPM)

• git clone https://github.com/Flobin/parrot.git this repository
• change into the new directory
• (optional) set up a virtual environment
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• cd posts/static/posts
• npm install

• (optional) go into your virtualenv
• python manage.py runserver

And if you want to change templates/css:

• cd posts/static/posts
• gulp watch

Manage data in the admin panel:

• python manage.py createsuperuser
• go to http://localhost:8000/admin and log in

• python manage.py test posts
• python manage.py test functional_tests (broken as of right now)

No idea yet

• Upgrade to Django 1.9
• Restrict voting to 1 vote per user per link
• Enable sorting for comments and links
  • Sorting by time (current)
  • Sorting by score and time (like reddit)
  • Sorting by upvotes/downvotes
  • Only showing posts from a certain time period
• Pagination for links
• Pagination for comments (?)
• Restrict nesting for comments (maybe)
• Sign up / log in:
  • Style templates
  • Write proper test
• Switch to proper database (probably Postgres)
• Figure out deployment
• Add pages (about, etc.)
