Qaari

A not so social netwoking platform for people for people who'd like to share their books recommendation or anything which they found is a good read. Others can refer for good suggestions without any other useless noise. 

Current production environment

Site hosted at https://qaari-24.herokuapp.com

Setup locally using virtual environment

1. Clone the repo (or fork if you plan to contribute).

   • To just test the site: git clone https://github.com/ssurbhi560/qaari

   • To enable contributions and send PRs: git clone <url-of-fork>.

2. cd to the directory you wish to have your project in, and run python3 -m venv Qaari.

3. Activate it by source Qaari/bin/activate. You may use any other name than Qaari, but make sure to use the same name while activating the virtual environment.

4. Run pip install --upgrade pip to, as expected, upgrade pip, and then install the dependencies by:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

5. Now cd to the directory where you cloned Qaari, and (ensure venv is activated) set the environment variable by:

export FLASK_APP=qaari.py

export FLASK_DEBUG=1

export FLASK_ENV=development

6. The project can run only when the vitrual environment is activated. Or perhaps you have the dependencies globally installed.

7. Some of the links might be broken since it's still under development.

So, manually change the URL to whatever route you like. Refer to qaari.py for all routes, and manually change the URLs to navigate.
