# Welcome to The Otter Den!

> A note on Python 3.11: It is not planned to make OtterDen work with Python 3.11 in the near future.

The Otter Den is a small and very simple flask-based online blog. Its purpose is *not* to be publicly deployed but

to serve as a pet project to learn how various aspects of software development and programming work.


Further, The Otter Den will henceforth be referenced as OtterDen as this is less effort to type and it is a name

used within the code aswell.



A little bit about its history first: I started this project at the end of 2021 and began in earnest in early 2022

using a series of tutorials by [Corey Schafer](https://www.youtube.com/@coreyms) I found on YouTube.


While I used his great guide as a base my plan is to gradually build on top of it and experiment with different ideas

and to really flesh out what OtterDen is.



Features I have added since finishing the tutorial course include:



- Ability to upload images to posts (wip)

- Ability to switch between dark and light mode

- Dedicated profile page for individual users

- Post history page to see all posts of a user

- Set up selenium and behave testsuite to automate future testing

- Tagging and filtering of posts

- Rudimentary privacy options

- Auto detection of URLs in Posts



All of this is still heavily WIP and I will update this list if I have time.
