Our Little World — Django v2

This version keeps the original scrapbook aesthetic but adds a real Django content layer.

Added

• Dynamic memories/photo scrapbook through Django Admin
• Anniversary montage / mini cinema page
• Places map using Leaflet + OpenStreetMap
• Inside-joke dictionary with search
• Relationship counter
• Next-meeting countdown hook
• Hidden clickable objects
• Birthday mode
• Open-when letters with unlock dates
• Future bucket list
• Time capsules with unlock dates
• Milestone timeline
• Admin models for all of the above

First setup

From the folder containing manage.py:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver

Then open:

• http://127.0.0.1:8000/
• http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

Important configuration

Edit VidhanDhrumi/settings.py:

RELATIONSHIP_START_DATE = "YYYY-MM-DD"
BIRTHDAY_DATE = "YYYY-MM-DD"
ANNIVERSARY_DATE = "YYYY-MM-DD"

Edit static/relationship/js/countdown.js when you know the next meeting:

window.NEXT_MEETING = "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS";

Photos and video

Upload photos from Django Admin for Memories, Milestones and Places.

For the anniversary movie, put:

anniversary-montage.mp4

inside:

static/relationship/videos/

Optional poster:

movie-poster.jpg

inside:

static/relationship/photos/

Seed placeholders

A placeholder fixture is included at:

relationship/initial_data.json

Load it with:

python manage.py loaddata relationship/initial_data.json

You can delete/replace the placeholder records from Admin.

Next privacy step

For a truly private deployed site, add Django authentication/password protection before putting it on the public internet. The current version is a development/private-project build, not a security boundary.

Digital scrapbook book

The /scrapbook/ page is a page-based digital scrapbook designed to grow over time.

• Create Scrapbook Page records in Django Admin.
• Give each page a page number, title, date, paper color and handwritten note.
• Add up to four Scrapbook Photo records per page using the inline photo slots.
• Photos appear as taped-on polaroids with captions and optional stickers.
• Navigate pages with the arrows, keyboard arrow keys, or swipe on mobile.
• Existing Memories remain available as the original gallery at /memories/.

The scrapbook uses the existing MEDIA_ROOT/MEDIA_URL setup, so uploaded scrapbook photos are stored under media/scrapbook/.
