Last week we kicked off 100 days of Django and this is our first Django app!

This app lets you import Planet Python's feed into an SQLite DB.

The Django front-end shows the articles in a table:

Upon clicking each link it shows the parsed data and action buttons:

The "Tweet this" button uses Twitter's Web Intents (redirect to generated link)

You can update the article as "Shared" or "Skipped" which is updated in the DB:

1. clone this repo:

    $ git clone git@github.com:pybites/pyplanet-django.git
   

2. make venv and install dependencies:

    $ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
    (venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. create DB tables (admin stuff to be added):

    (venv) $ python manage.py migrate
    Operations to perform:
    Apply all migrations: admin, articles, auth, contenttypes, sessions
    Running migrations:
    Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK
    ...
    ...
    Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK
   

4. run the management command to import Planet Python's feed:

    (venv) $ python manage.py importfeed
    Article id 1 created
    Article id 2 created
    ...
    ...
    Article id 25 created
    25 articles added
   

5. run local server:

    (venv) $ python manage.py runserver
   

6. browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/

• Deploy to Heroku or PythonAnywhere

• Add importfeed command to a cronjob

• Add user authentication and tracking who edits what (already field in the model)

• Integrate Twitter API so green "Mark Shared" button can be made redundant
