Pinterest Jr.

This is a super simple Django app that uses the embedly API to replicate Pinterest (for learning purposes).

Requirements

If you're using pip you can pull in the reqs with a pip install -r requirements.txt

If not, here's what's in there:

Django==1.4.3
Embedly==0.4.3
httplib2==0.7.7
wsgiref==0.1.2

I recommend you use the wonderful virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper tools for your development environment.

Usage

Clone the repo
get your virtualenv up
cd app/app
run `python manage.py syncdb'
run python manage.py runserver
Go to 127.0.0.1:8000 in your web browser

Administration

Go to 127.0.0.1:8000/admin in your browser

Admin user/pass is admin / admin

Static file handling

Static files are JavaScript, CSS, or image files that accompany each app. Every application module in the django project has its own /static directory which contains the static files for that module.

There is a global /static directory located at the project root (the contents of which are ignored by git) where all of these static files will be collected upon running the python manage.py collectstatic command, which refers to the STATIC_ROOT, STATIC_URL, STATICFILES_DIRS, and STATICFILES_FINDERS vars in your settings.py.
