Notes web app

A simple web application created with Django, a Python-based web framework, for taking notes.

Requirements

• Python version 3.6+ to run a Python server on your device (download here)

How to install

1. Pull the repository
2. Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the repository's root directory
3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt and wait until all necessary modules are installed

How to view

1. Run python manage.py runserver in the Command Prompt in the repository's root directory
2. View the app at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

For quicker access you can create a shortcut that will run these 2 steps on a single click. The app will also run automatically, if you deploy it to a web server.

Notes app or blog app

Depending on whether users should be able to see or modify other users' posts (in case this application gets deployed on a web server), this app can be easily converted between a blog and a note-taking app.

To do this, there are 2 files where some lines of code need to be commented out and some need to be uncommented (which is explained in comments):

• blog/views.py
• blog/templates/blog/post_detail.html
