GeekyWorld is a tech blog where user can get latest updated news related to their field of interest.
This project is completely build with python as a core and uses Django filters extensively while maintaining best practices which are recommended while developing Django. The sole aim is to create a tech blog which will guide the normal consumer to buy a smartphone which will be best as per their requirements and best in value to price comparision. Here user can get latest tech news and unbiased reviews for smartphones. This blog will also support me to grew my already present inclination towards cutting edge modern technologies in many folds.
Project is created with:
- Python version: 3.7 or higher (3.8.5 recommended)
- Django version: 3.0 or higher (3.1.1 recommended)
- database : sqlite3 or any as you like
- HTML and CSS
- Javascript version: ES 6 or ES 7
- Bootstrap library version: 4.2 or 4.3
- any IDE can be used but VS Code is recommended.
To run this project, fisrt install python from https://www.python.org/. After successful installation of python, you just have to install all used packages via requirements.txt file provided in the project link. To do that type below code in your console;
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
to see the GeekyWorld in action just type below codes in your console;
First run makemigrations to package all your model related changes into individual migrations file
$ python manage.py makemigrations
then run migrate to apply all those migrations file to commit changes into database.
$ python manage.py migrate
atlast just type runserver in your console to start the Django local server;
$ python manage.py runserver
$ python manage.py runserver
Do not forget to setup your SECRET_KEY in settings.py. If it aleady set then ok. Now you are good to go. Having knowledge on frontend technologies such as Javascript is added benefit but you can use google for any kind of need as I did.

I got my main inspiration at looking at https://www.gsmarena.com/, https://beebom.com/ and many such websites. I took many references by various web searches from Google and problem solutions from stackoverflow. The fronted technologes credits goes to https://www.w3schools.com/html/. For pyhton and django youtube channels such as Programming with Mosh, freecodecamp.org and ProgrammingwithHarry etc.
