Django Landmarks Blog

This is a Django-based web application for a personal landmark blog. The blog allows an admin to post landmarks, which can be viewed by users. Users can explore the places, add them to a "Read Later" list, delete places from the list, view detailed information about each place, leave comments, and manage their own Read Later list.

Project Background

This project is based on Maximilian Schwarzmüller's tutorial on Udemy Python Django - The Practical Guide. I have made some modifications to the original project and I built upon that foundation to extend the project's functionality and address specific requirements. However, the course inspired the core concept and initial implementation and the work of the original author.
