Django flickr explorer
======================

This app was developed just for fun.

What this app do?
-----------------
Get all the popular images from flickr explorer section. Using Flickr API.
API is pretty simple to understand.

Installation and Setup:
-----------------------

```sh
git clone https://github.com/iraycd/django-flickr-explorer.git
cd django-flickr-explorer
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py runserver
```

- Change the api_key at /apps/flick/views.py to your api_key
- Change the per_page default is set to '50' the max is '500'

How does it work?
-----------------
- To get images go to "/get"
- You can see the details using django admin.
- You can view the images on the home page.

Worst thing i have done during the design?
------------------------------------------
- Din't use thumbnails.
- Getting the Original images.(Even if the image is 7MB+ it will be loaded)
- Din't compress the image.
- Din't write proper code for getting different image sizes.
- Din't maintain a base.html.
- Din't keep the api_key in settings.py
