You say memesocial?

memesocial.com is a web platform for sharing memes (this is a fancy way of saying a social network).

Well I like memes so I said why not creating a social network just for memes.

Start by clonning the repo:

mohamed@host:~/$ git clone https://github.com/mohamed-aziz/memesocial.git

I suggest that you create a virtual environment using virtualenv and activating it.

mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ virtualenv venv_dev/
mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ source venv_dev/bin/activate

Then you need to install the python packages (I use pip and you should also).

(venv_dev)mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ pip install -r requirements.txt

(Don't use requirements_dev.txt that's the packages I use for python development in Emacs.)

Now you can run the development web server using:

(venv_dev)mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ python manage.py runserver

Gunicorn and gevent are also installed if you want to go official and use em (someone needs to write a wrapper around gunicorn so we can run the production server using that flask script)

I have written some tests for the API, you can run them using py.test.

(venv_dev)mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ py.test memesocial/tests/

There is lots of work that needs to be done:

• We need lots and lots of work on the frontend and the design.

• We need to write some code on top of fabricjs that allows the users to create memes on the fly.

• We also need to improve my algorithms for user leaders suggestion and the news feed.

• We need some sort of trie algorithm to make a fast search feature?

You have to fork the repo, make your changes and then make a pull request.

I suggest checking pep8 compliance with :

(venv_dev)mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ python manage.py pep8

You could fix them automatically with autopep8 using:

(venv_dev)mohamed@host:~/memesocial$ python manage.py autopep8
