Azure Trial Hackathon - Mini Pinterest with Flask

Overview of My Submission

Hi guys, have you ever thought about creating a simple web application to enable saving, sharing and discovery images on a smaller scale in form of pinboard by leveraging the services in Azure ?
Here we bring you our project, called MiniPinterest. This is a web application that has all the features mentioned above. We can add images, edit and delete them on it. Image information is searched through captions and name tag, using Computer Vision in analyzing the image and its content to find similar content.

Live demo at: https://lmh-pinterest.azurewebsites.net

Submission Category:

The category for this project is: AI Aces.
We are using Azure Computer Vision API.

In addition, to publish the webapp on Production, we are using an Azure App Service for deploying, PostgreSQL for Database and Azure Blob Storage for storing images.
