Products that do what Django Keel – 10 Years of Django Best Practices in One Template does
After a decade of shipping Django to production, I got tired of solving the same setup problems on every new project. Environment-first settings. Sensible auth defaults. Structured logging. CI from day zero. Pre-commit hooks. Docker. Security hardening. Every project meant two days of boilerplate before writing business logic. So I built Django Keel: a production-ready Django starter that eliminates the yak-shaving. GitHub: https://github.com/CuriousLearner/django-keel *What you get*: - 12-factor config with environment-based secrets - Production-hardened security…

We had a lot of reasons we wanted to build our own help desk, the least of which (and easiest to mention) is that a three seat license to the top tier desk systems are well over $100/mo. Plus they were slowing us down quite a bit. Right now its only dependency is Django, it supports email alert for updates, has bundled style, a permission like public/private/internal status, optional anonymous questions/responses, categories, searching, and a few more I've missed. What I'd like to do is: extend tests, class based views, parse incoming emails as questions & response (this is important for…

Golang is an incredible language for web development. That being said, indie developers and small businesses will likely miss extensive resources found in other projects like Django. Although building an application from the ground up using the standard library is possible, it can be error prone and time consuming. Pocketbase has almost everything an indie developer needs, supporting database, authentication, and file storage into a single, easy-to-deploy executable. Combined with HTMX, and you can created a full stack web application without bloated front end frameworks. That being said,…

I'm writing a book which teaches Python/Django web app development for non-programmers, and fundraising on Kickstarter (passed minimum funding, 2 days left): http://hellowebapp.com https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1868398473/hello-web-app-intro-to-building-web-apps-with-djan It's basically the process I used to teach myself programming as a web designer a few years back, which I then launched a small web app (infant-version of WeddingInviteLove.com), which has grown into my bootstrapped startup which supports me full-time (WeddingLovely.com). Most…

Wagtail is a new, open-source Django CMS focused on flexibility and user experience. It was originally built for the Royal College of Art, but now we're able to share it with everyone. See https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail and http://wagtail.io (marketing site) and http://www.rca.ac.uk/ (first big site built on Wagtail) We're really proud of the user interface, and we hope that Wagtail will make it easy for Django developers to build beautiful, modern sites. Feedback very welcome! Tom Dyson, Technical Director at Torchbox (Wagtail developers)

Hi HN, I’m one of the creators of Keel and we're excited (and nervous in equal measures) to be sharing this. We built Keel on two principles: 1. A backend is much more than just a database. A scalable backend platform should be grounded in engineering best practices and come complete with a full suite of services without having to wire 10 SaaS products together 2. A backend should not be an engineering black box and should be designed from day one to support the entire organisation over time and scale. Keel is a schema driven backend engine. Define your data model, api actions, permissions,…

Hey HN! Myself and my cofounder are excited to actually launch the product we've been working for the past six months. It's a robotics framework with a focus on testing and production. The current industry standard (ROS) is great for prototyping, but suffers from performance and testing problems as the robot gets more complex. I would have loved to work on this another six months or a year to polish it up and really, but I know it's better to launch a bit before you think you're ready. It's a C++ pub-sub framework (a lot like ROS, in that way), but rather than declaring C++…

A couple of years ago I wrote Hello Web App (http://hellowebapp.com) to teach beginner Django web app development. It's aimed at non-programmers and designers, and walks folks through building and deploying a basic web app. I'm working on my third book to teach web design fundamentals to programmers (Hello Web Design: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1868398473/hello-web-design-design-basics-for-non-designers), so I've made Hello Web App free online during the Kickstarter campaign for the new book. The full Hello Web App tutorial can be accessed here:…

Hey HN! Over the past decade or so, every side project and startup I've built has used more or less the same framework: - a django backend - a react spa frontend - a separate seo-optimized static marketing site (I used to use jekyll, but now I use astro) As many of you can probably relate, I've always started from scratch or grabbed code from old private repos. Half the time this resulted in burning out before I started working on the main project. I decided to take a break and build a truly solid foundation for the things I use in nearly every project. Hopefully some of you find it as…

Hey HN, I wrote a book teaching beginner web app development using Django, launching on May 4th (successfully Kickstarted last year.) Website: http://hellowebapp.com Highlights: - Aimed at people who have previous HTML/building websites experience. - Template-first development: see the web app as a website first, before setting up databases and models. - Generic “collection of things” tutorial. Readers are encouraged to create something using this rubric that means something to them (a blog, a directory of people, etc.) Adding creativity will make the material stick better. -…

Hello everyone, I’ve created this starter project for creating production ready web apps in Vite and React that I hope some might find useful. This template came about as a necessity to provide some standardization across new projects at work. A few of the initial goals when creating this project were to: - Reduce setup time - Standardize codebase with ESLint and Prettier - Improve commit messages with tools like husky, commitizen and commitlint - Improve codebase maintainability and scalability by providing a reasonable folder structure - Simplify React Component development through use of…
