SOCIAL NETWORKING APP USING DJANGO

Abstract

Social networks constitute the greatest global information platform on the internet today. They have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. As people spend more time socializing on the internet. The web project developed by Prathiksha Kini and Shanelle D’Mello simulates a social media website called “Truffle” where the users can create, edit and update their profiles with a strong authentication system provided inbuilt by the Django framework. The logged in users can add, edit, download and delete posts, search users, like and comment on the post as well as follow/unfollow other users. The website hosts a user suggestion section where random users are displayed on refreshing the page. This project report will introduce how to build a social media web application system using the Django framework. Django is an open-source web application framework written in python. This social media web application system built using Django has five major components with different functionalities that will be introduced later. We will introduce various features of the Django framework and SQLite3 RDBMS in the later section. In the end, snapshots are attached to demonstrate UI.
