AberQuotes
April 10th, 2008 | by dan |As mentioned in my last posting, I made a web app to teach myself Django.
I didn’t want to create yet another blog engine, so I took the time to come up with something which was a little bit more interesting.
What I came up with is AberQuotes.
This little app parses topics out of an IRC log and creates a digg-style site out of them. It’s got the basic voting functionality in there, as well as OpenID signup, because that’s so hip. There’s structure in the model for all kinds of other stuff based on the data, but I couldn’t be bothered to implement those features. Only the interesting stuff got coded.
Pretty silly and will be forgotten about within weeks (if not already), but it at least made me use the majority of the components of Django to some extent. Having said that about blogs, I should probably get around to turning this site into a Django site, if only because wordpress is rubbish.
