My Blog

My blog website

Features :-

• Users can register on the website by filling up a form and activate it by clicking on the activation link sent to the user's e-mail address.
• After signup users can post blogs, like/dislike posts, post comments, etc.
• Upvote/downvote system in the comment section.
• Users can use markdown or may use tools from top panel to make blog look more beautiful and presentable. Auto preview is also enabled.
• Implemented REST API so that users and other applications can use the data (perform CRUD).
• Implemented pagination for better readability.

Working with the API

• The API is not public.
• Create an account first and generate JWT token and pass the token as Authorization header.
• Check below for example

(use HTTPie for the example)

http POST https://wingman7.pythonanywhere.com/api-token-auth/ username=user password=pass

New features to be added :-

• Improve the backend logic (*need to refine the "approval" system)
• Will soon develop a desktop application using QT where the users can perform CRUD operations using it.
