Coconuts is a simple photo sharing web application. The backend is written in Python, using the Django framework. The frontend is written in TypeScript using the Angular framework.
Some of Coconuts' features:
- authentication: Coconuts uses Django's user system and you can create and manage your users with the admin interface.
- easy to manage: photos and albums are simply stored as files and directories on the server
- thumbnails: thumbnails are automatically generated as users browse albums
- touch friendly: Coconuts features a clean and simple user interface which works well on tablets and smartphones. You can swipe between photos.
