Inspiration

My main inspiration for this project is https://blog.osk.sh/. I want to create a blog where I can share my notes, resources, projects to inspire and help out fellow A Level Students.

What it does

A simple blog app for me to post my A Level notes, progress on my projects and articles/resources I find helpful or interesting.

How we built it

This was built using HTML, CSS and Python using the Django framework.

Challenges

This was my second time using Django and as I'm not very familiar with it, I had to spend a lot of time referring to the documentations and w3schools.

Accomplishments

I was able to create a functional (although empty) web blog application despite working on my own and not being as familiar with Django!

What we learned

I've learnt how to use the extend tag in Django. I've also learnt that I need to shift-reload to view the updated CSS (this took me a while to figure out).

What's next for The Minnow Blog

Lots and lots of refinement on the frontend before I start adding content onto the blog. I hope to invite some of my friends to contribute to it with me!
