Maasaic
Maasaic is a sofware to create and host your own websites using a mosaic like structure. The main idea is to create non-standard good looking websites very easily. You can try it out at maasaic.com.
If you want to see an example of a website created using it, visit my personal website at fceruti.com.
This is a very early prototype, there are many things to be improved to be even considered for production. For the time beeing I'm using it personally for my website and fixing things and adding features as I need them.
Dev and testing
To start developing or trying out this project on your local computer follow this
git clone https://github.com/fceruti/maasaic.git
cd maasaic
mkvirtualenv --python=python3 maasaic
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
You'll also need to set some environment variables, for which I create .env file and load it like this:
export DJANGO_SECRET_KEY=???
export DJANGO_ENV=dev
export DJANGO_DEBUG=True
export DJANGO_DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost:5432/???
export DEFAULT_SITE_DOMAIN=http://maasaic-local.com:8000/
export STATIC_URL=/static/
export MEDIA_URL=http://maasaic-local.com:8000/media/
export MEDIA_ROOT=???
export STATIC_ROOT=???
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=???
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=???
export AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME=???
export AWS_LOCATION=???
export GIPHY_KEY=???
