This is the repository containing the source code and documentation for my first full stack website; an anonymous social media website.
Pretty much the most barebones stack possible:
- HTML + CSS + JS
- jinja templates served via flask
- sqlite3 database with custom endpoints routed through the flask app
- gunicorn + nginx for deployment
I recieved a free domain + ssl certificates from name.com through the github student developer pack and built a pi 4 (4GB) server with a fan and usb flash storage to hold all of the files.
The site has a few distinguishing features such as:
- unlimited "laughs" on post and comment content (similar to yikyak)
- post id and comment id system similar to early internet message boards and forums
- video and image content support
- fully fledged report and moderation system (password locked on the admin facing side)
- fully functional comment system
- the ability to sort posts by date (asc, desc) and popularity
- the ability to search for posts using id's or keywords found in usernames and post content.
