# lostplaces-backend

lostplaces-backend is a Django based Webproject. It once wants to become a
software which allows a group of urban explorers to manage, document and
share the locations of lost places while not exposing too much / any
information to the public.

The software ist currently in early development status, neither scope,
datalayout nor features are finalized yet.

## Dependencies
Right now it depends on the following non-core Python 3 libraries. These can be installed using the package manager of your distribution
or into the venv locally.

  * [django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
  * [django-thumbs-v2](https://github.com/rrmerugu/django-thumbs-v2) Create thumbnails for your images with Django.

Currently the the repo is quite a mess, with full Python 3.8 site-packages
in-repo and other sketchy stuff. This will be fixed sometime.
