Title catalog
Films, books, music, and other works are organized by category and genre.
Web platform · Reviews and ratings
Titles, ratings, and discussions in one system
A platform for publishing and discovering films, books, music, and other works. Users rate titles, write reviews, and discuss them in comments, while moderators and administrators manage the catalog and content through a dedicated interface.
The challenge
Separate community features from content administration
The public product needs search, ratings, and discussions, while staff need to manage users and publications without access to critical Django settings. ArtEcho combines these workflows while separating permissions for users, moderators, administrators, and superusers.
Capabilities
Catalog, community, and administration
Reviews and ratings
Users publish reviews and score titles from 1 to 10 while the platform calculates average ratings.
Comments
Reviews support discussions, with every comment linked to its author and parent publication.
Roles and permissions
Actions are separated across users, moderators, administrators, and superusers.
Client administration
A dedicated panel manages users and content without exposing critical project settings.
REST API
JWT authentication, pagination, and documented endpoints support additional interfaces and applications.
Data import
Management commands import CSV and JSON data, clear selected tables, and restore fixtures.
Safe demonstration
A restricted demo mode presents the features without changing the primary data.
