100 Days Of Django - LOG

Day 0 : July 9 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• Basic Project Setup
• CRUD action in a blog post.
• Template manipulation.

Thoughts : As of now, it takes me about 1 hour to finish all the crud operations using Django Template and Forms. The application I am developing is Medium like clone or a blog social network. Its fun!

Link of Work: Commit

Day 1 : July 10 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• Basic user login and logout
• User authentication.

Thoughts : Basic user login is cool. But maintaining permissions will be more crazier, which I might cover shortly.

Day 2 : July 11 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• User profile generation
• Media files configuration

Thoughts : The idea of user profile initiates a concept of blog social network in this project. Its getting more and more interesting.

Day 3 : July 12 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• User registration frontend and backend.
• Generation of Profile model objects using Signals that are triggered during the creation of User model. Cool stuff!

Thoughts : Automatically creating the Profile object during User creation by associating profile with the particular User is a cool concept. The usage of Signal comes vividly here.

Day 4 : July 13 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• Registration complete (alert message is remained).
• User Profile maipulation such as - Showing only respective user's content on his/her profile, Associating post with user (in view. not model).

Thoughts : Automatically creating the Profile object during User creation by associating profile with the particular User is a cool concept. The usage of Signal comes vividly here.

Day 5 : July 14 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• Blog post 'Likes' functionality works like a charm.
• Also added 'Liked by' list view.

Thoughts : Maintaining a 'Facebook like' like relationship in our blog was achieved today. I had to deal with a couple of query issues and still some optimization is remained. All in all, it was a hit!

Day 6 : July 15 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• User follow model initiation.
• Conditioning Follow button in the front-end.

Thoughts : With blogs/Snippcode being generated by each user, it is preferred habit to generate a "follow" feature so that the followers get updated and notified with the feeds.

WEEK 2 STARTS

Day 7 : July 16 , 2018

Today's Progress :

• User Follow bug fixes.

Thoughts : Honestly, the day was counterproductive. But that's alright. Perhaps, tomorrow is the day to finalize Follow features.

Day 8: July 17, 2018

Today's Progress :

• User Follow feature done.
• User Unfollow feature done.

Thoughts : And yes, today was the day! Both follow and unfollow stuff were done. We can move on to some OTHER stuff now! Bear with me.

Day 9: July 18, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Minor Bug fixes

Thoughts : Fixing a bug can be an intimidating process. I found that Django was throwing an error while trying to display the the profile to an unauthenticated user. This was later solved. I am not going to fix the 'Follow' and 'Profile' bugs anymore because there ain't none (hopefully). Ok, we will start big things tomorrow.

Day 10: July 19, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Case study of School Management System

Thoughts : SMS systems can range from a simple application to a complex architecture. Today, I did a small case study on such SMS systems. I will be studying more regarding this system in the days to come.

Day 11: July 20, 2018

Today's Progress :

• SMS System design architecture

Thoughts : No hands-on code. Only the surfacial study of SMS system was done. Meanwhile, this overall event can come to a halt because of work issues. But, I will try my best to let it not happen.

Day 12: July 21, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Various Queryset
• Django + JS Chart basics

Thoughts : Some queryset performance was monitored. On the other hand, some study were in JS Chart Frameworks such as HighCharts, d3js, etc.

Day 13: July 22, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Some miscellaneous frontend layout.

Thoughts : Some frontend layout stuff was done.

No Work Day (14)

** Have some other stuff all day long. Next day will be counted as Day 14 **

WEEK 3 STARTS

Day 14: July 24, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Minor bug fixes described below

Thoughts : Blog author name exception, unique together fields for FollowUser model and Delete user auth check was done.

Day 15: July 25 2018

Today's Progress :

• Fixed Follow bug resulted by count()

Thoughts : After following a user, the template was not rendering the Unfollow button and I managed to figure out why. Turns out, I wasn't calling the count method and setting the condition of returning 1. Some parentheses aren't just small.

Day 16: July 26 2018

Today's Progress :

• Tinymce integration
• Code snippet highlight
• Personal CDN

Thoughts : Wow! Ok, I have found some known bugs. I also have to make a comment section and other stuff but the important part was covered (well, at least in Django Admin). Now, the system accepts code/text snippets and highhlights them according to the language. It's a win!

Day 17: July 27 2018

Today's Progress :

• Add snippet from form (raw code)
• Jaqen H'gar mode: Guest user : No one!
• Enhance profile info.

Thoughts : I included snippet pasting feature from the frontend but with the raw code (no wysiwyg). Also, the feature of "guest user" or Jaqen H'gar mode was included :laughing: . Lastly, some enhancement on profile info (total snipps count, likes count etc) to wrap it up for today.

Day 18: July 28 2018

Today's Progress :

• Page hits counter
• Individual profile based snipp hits view count (use of annotation)
• Searching according to title, description and code.

Thoughts : Done some cool things like Page hits counter (based on session) and searching (based on snipp title, description and code).

Day 19: July 29 2018

Today's Progress :

• Comments on the post
• Code snippet info on modal
• Form validations
• Add footer and manage layouts.

Thoughts : One of the most important tasks has been achieved. The functionality of adding user comments is done. User can also paste the snippet in the comment. Also, a help-modal was generated for snippet help. The historic task of adding footer was also done. :p

Day 20: July 30 2018

Today's Progress :

• Massive changes on home page UI.
• Other minor front-end fixes.

Thoughts : Lots of changes have been made on the home page. First of all, the list view is placed to a right column as most of the priority is given to the Add Quick Snippet feature. The UI looks much better.

WEEK 4 STARTS

Day 21: July 31 2018

Today's Progress :

• Navbar layot changes.
• Trending list and Recent list added in the right col.

Thoughts : The task of showing trending list (last week's most viewed pastes/snippets) and the most recent paste was accomplished. Some other tweaks were made in the frontend. Its beginning to look a lot cooler.

Day 22: August 1 2018

Today's Progress :

• Following list post template
• Comment delete template

Thoughts : Not much things happened besides setting up the apropriate templates for following feed and delete comment. Still a long way to go and today was certainly not the day full of pace and deliverance.

Day 23: August 2 2018

Today's Progress :

• Add private snippet feature and massive manipulations on them.
• Form condition: Hide one of the form field to guest users.

Thoughts : What a day! First of all, I implemented the private snippet creating option (Just because of this feature, snippet sharing application goes Pro :grin: ). And then, the restriction was set to the guest user from django form!

Day 24: August 3, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Navbar top fixed.
• Select related Django ORM.

Thoughts : Some focus on front-end with navbar being fixed upon scroll. Also, I was working with select related queries for following users. Work is going on.

Day 25: August 4, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Profile Edit form.
• User snippet edit permission fix.

Thoughts : A mandatory feature of profile edit was done. In the meantime, I was unaware about the fact that I had't set any permissions for the users who were trying to sneak into editing someone else's post. This is done now.

Day 26: August 5, 2018

Today's Progress :

• Media cdn configurations.
• Frontend fixes.

Thoughts :Of course, it's always wise to store media (and static) to a separate CDN. This is a test where I have kept the cdn within the project directory for simplicity but the basic idea is understandable.

WEEK 5 STARTS
