Backend main structure

The backend is divided into 4 main applications contained in the homonymous folders: authentication, content, entities, and events.

• authentication: clearly deals with the user authentication process and the definition of related models;
• content: defines and manages the models for various types of content present on the platform (images, tasks, resources, etc.);
• entities: defines and manages the models for structured entities that make up the Activists ecosystem (organizations, groups, etc.);
• events: defines and manages the models related to everything revolving around event management on the platform.
