A django-powered image/textboard engine. It's split to a core app with the boards and posts models, a boards app with hmtx-dynamic template-based server-rendered front-end, and a read-only (for time being) JSON API utilizing Django REST framework.
Before running via manage.py copy .env.dist to .env and
modify. Site profile (title, description, others) can be modified from
admin panel.
This is mainly an educational project for myself to learn Django, and as a template to follow for future projects. Issues and bug reports welcome, contributions too considering previous.
There's a test instance deployed on PythonAnywhere, linked in repo
details, where someone can check how project looks like. It updates from
this repo and resets once daily (gonna be doing the reset
irregularly so it isn't permanently in wasteland mode).
- refactor search, thread, incl/threads_list, reply templates (currently they share large parts)
- add per-board max filesize+
- add ip-based post limit (needed to prevent spam, theoretically server could do that)
- add ip-based ban (probably useless for users, and actual spam bots could be handled by server)
- improve htmx utilization (currently overlying on hx-boost)
- improve site and admin panel design (django project site has cool design and colorscheme to base on, also check simple.css)
- improve caching, maybe save rendered text
- provide posting via JSON API (requires changes to simple-math-captcha)
- add pagination
- add capcodes
- quote link preview utilizing the htmx or json api
- file deduplication+
- file filter+
- add tests to all apps+
