What it is and what it does
Django Activity Stream is a Django app that captures and displays streams of user-generated actions on your site. It models activities using four components—an Actor (who did it), a Verb (what they did), an Action Object (optional, what was affected), and a Target (optional, what it was done to)—allowing you to record events and display them as feeds.
The package is designed to support following and unfollowing of activity sources, enabling use cases like dashboards where users see actions from projects they watch and people they follow. Activities are stored in the database and can be queried and filtered to build personalized feeds. It integrates with Django's ORM and uses GenericForeignKeys to link activities to any model in your project.
Use it for
- Build a dashboard showing actions from followed projects and users.
- Display a user's personal activity feed of their own actions on the platform.
- Track and display moderation events for site administrators.
- Create notification systems that alert users to actions by followed accounts.
- Log audit trails of important user actions for compliance or debugging.
