mu - the simple forum

mu is a simple project that takes inspiration after traditional blogs and reddit. mu is powered by Django and styled using Bootstrap.
Please check it out here!

Set up

You will need Python 3. I recommend using a virtual environment to avoid any version conflicts with packages you might already have: python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate.

Either way, you'll need to install the dependencies from requirements.txt using pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

You will then need to create an .env file or pass the following attributes when running mu:

DEBUG=true
SECRET_KEY=...

Run python3 manage.py migrate and then finally python3 manage.py runserver. mu can then be visted through http://localhost:8000.

Name

I named mu after the noise one of my cats - Jack Jack - makes. Instead of a more traditional meow, Jack Jack mews like a kitten, even though he's a 13-pound chonker.
