Actually it uses the built in Django auth system, it has a registration page and everything already. You can have multiple people with accounts posting stuff on here if you wanted to expand it to multiple people in a company.
I'll create an issue to expand in this direction a bit though, great idea!

#13Very nice work.

#14Can you put up a demo?

Re: Introducing Pinry, a self-hostable Pinterest.
#16I'm getting into Pinterest, trying to figure out what the sharing, socializing, and marketing opportunities are over there. Some of those members have millions of followers. Amazing. It's like having your own private newspaper.
But heck if I want to spend my time creating yet more content for some other third-party to make money on. So I can kind of see what they're getting at here.
What I decided to do was create a blog just for new stuff I'd share on Pinterest. I post to my blog and then pin from my blog. ( shameless plug: http://i-heart.us/ Note this is mostly just Amazon affiliate stuff but I already have another blog dedicated to just interesting pictures http://caption-of-the-day.com)
I think if you could automate _that_ process, where instead of pinning you'd post on your own account and then pin, you'd get the best of both worlds. Having your site look and feel like Pinterest would be bonus points.
I like this idea a lot. To me having finer control over your own content is a much more important feature than nailing an exact Pinterest clone.

#17"Because I don't like sharing." I think you missed the point of Pinterest. This is to Pinterest what iPhoto is to Facebook. But I'll be honest, I was first interested in Pinterest because I thought it would be a lovely bookmark aggregator. This does that pretty well from the look of it, but it's definitely a self-hosted image bookmarker with a Pinterest-esque interface, rather than a self-hosted curated web. Might be…

#18Side note, these github templates look beautiful.

#19Can you put up a demo?
No, I rather not deal with hosting/curating a demo site for something I advertise as being "self-hosted" and work on developing the item itself. Look to wookmark or pinterest websites, it works very similar to them.
You can also clone it and have your own demo up and running very fast.

#20I can't find it if there is one, but it'd be great to have an example site.
There is none and I don't plan on creating one. I understand why you want one but I don't want to bother with hosting a dynamic website that I would have to manage. (Rather spend the time improving the app itself.) I include a screenshot and an example is wookmark or pinterest's websites. It functions like those. If you want a demo of this exact app then clone it and run it. It's free and open source!
