Hella Recipes: A Django Sprint
Full-stack recipe platform built and deployed in one week.
The Sprint
The challenge was simple: build a robust, community-driven recipe sharing platform. The constraint? 7 days.
Hella Recipes is the result. A fully functional Django application where users can discover, create, and share their favorite meals from the Bay Area and beyond.
The Tech Stack
We chose Django for its "batteries-included" philosophy, allowing us to move fast without breaking things.
- Backend: Python & Django (ORM, Auth, Templates).
- Frontend: Bulma CSS for a lightweight, modern, responsive UI.
- Database: PostgreSQL for reliable data storage.
- Deployment: Hosted on Akamai Cloud, served via Nginx and Gunicorn for production-grade performance.
Key Features
- User Authentication: Secure signup and login flows.
- Recipe Management: Create, edit, and delete recipes with rich text and images.
- Responsive Design: Looks hella good on mobile and desktop.
