Code Social is a full-featured social blogging platform built with Python, Django and Bootstrap. Users can register, create and join groups, publish blog posts, and interact with others in a community-driven environment.
Think of it as a lightweight mix of Reddit, Discord, and a personal blog — all powered by Python and Django!

Every post belongs to a group. Users must join a group to see its posts or create new ones. Only group members can post in that group. All authentication is handled securely using Django’s best practices.
Passwords are hashed (never stored in plain text). User sessions are managed by Django’s secure session framework. Always use HTTPS in production (not needed in development).
