Full stack Django project to Create, Edit, Delete and view tweets from different usernames with Register, Login and Logout functionalities. It emphasizes user authentication and secure tweet management system, ensuring that users can interact with their own tweets while viewing tweets from others.
Key Features:
User Authentication: Users must register or log in with a unique username and password to create a new tweet. Creation, editing, and deletion of tweets are restricted to authenticated users only. Tweet Management: Users can view tweets from other users but can only edit or delete their own tweets. Each tweet can be accompanied by a favorite image selected by the user. Tweets are displayed to users based on the posting time. If no image is selected, a default image is displayed with the tweet. User Interface: The frontend is built with static HTML and Bootstrap for an eye-catching design. The tweets are presented in a clean, chronological order for easy browsing.
Development Features:
Frontend: Static HTML and Bootstrap are used to create a visually appealing and responsive website. Backend: Django serves as the backend framework, implementing the Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture. The default Django database, SQLite, is used for managing user data and tweets. Security and Forms: Django authentication mechanisms are employed to protect user data and restrict access. Django forms, created within the app, include CSRF tokens for security, ensuring safe data handling for registration, login, and logout functionalities. Image Handling: The Pillow library is added to the requirements.txt file for efficient image processing and management. Additional Security: Django's inbuilt security features are leveraged to make the web app resilient against common web vulnerabilities, ensuring a secure environment for managing tweets.
