Rust Web Framework2024 · github.com · ▲488Hi everyone, I've been "funemployed" for a few months and with all that free time and idle hands I wrote a full web framework (think Rails, not Flask) for Rust. It's boring old MVC, has its own ORM, templates, background jobs, auth, websockets, migrations and more. If you're keen but don't feel like rewriting your app in a different language, Rwf has a WSGI server to run Django (or Flask) inside Rust [1], letting you migrate to Rust at your own pace without disrupting your website.

Oxyde – Pydantic-native async ORM with a Rust coreMar 2026 · github.com · ▲155Hi HN! I built Oxyde because I was tired of duplicating my models. If you use FastAPI, you know the drill.

One class, full validation on input and output, native type hints, zero duplication. The query API is…
- WOWagtail, our new Django CMS2014 · ▲166
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)

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
