Where do you go from here?

If you liked this project and you feel like expanding it, here are a few suggestions:

  • Implement the encryption in the mechanism of a custom Django field.
  • Amend the template for the record list so that you can search for a particular record.
  • Amend the JavaScript to use JSONP with a callback to overcome the CORS issue.
  • Amend the JavaScript to fire the validation call when the password field changes.
  • Write a Django command that allows you to encrypt and decrypt the database file. When you do it from the command line, incorporate that behavior into the website, possibly on the home page, so that you don't have access to the records unless you are authenticated. This is definitely a hard challenge as it requires either another database with an authentication password stored properly with a one way hash, or some serious reworking of the data structure used to hold the record model data. Even if you don't have the means to do it now, try and think about how you would solve this problem.
  • Set up PostgreSQL on your machine and switch to using it instead of the SQLite file that is the default.
  • Add the ability to attach a file to a record.
  • Play with the application, try to find out which features you want to add or change, and then do it.
