Follow and Unfollow Buttons - Django Wednesdays Twitter #6

In this video I'll show you how to create Follow and Unfollow buttons on each profile page of our Twitter Clone App with Django and Python.

Following and Unfollowing users is pretty important in any Twitter Clone App. Setting it up is pretty simple.

We'll add the buttons to the profile pages using Bootstrap, then add the functionality to the Views.py file on the backend.
