Daily Motivational Quote App

Just a quick little project I made while practicing Django and backend development. This is part of my journey as I learn and improve my skill

This project is built using Django and includes a simple frontend with HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and some JavaScript. The app delivers a “Quote of the Day” to users and adds extra functionality like scheduling, notifications, and social media sharing.

• Task scheduling with Celery
• Sending emails/SMS
• Integrating with social media APIs
• Daily Quote Scheduling – A “Quote of the Day” is automatically scheduled.
• Notifications – Users can subscribe to receive daily quotes via email or SMS.
• Social Media Sharing – Automatic posting to connected social media accounts.
• User Accounts – Simple authentication so users can manage their subscriptions.
• Basic UI – Clean and minimal frontend using Bootstrap.

• Python
• Django
• HTML
• HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript
• Celery (for task scheduling & background jobs)
• Redis (as Celery broker)
• SMTP / Twilio (for email & SMS)
• Social Media APIs (Twitter/X, Facebook, etc.)
