DJX – Convention over Configuration for Django (Rails-Inspired CLI)
Hi HN, I'm a self-taught developer from Malawi, and I built DJX because I was tired of writing the same Django boilerplate over and over. Django is powerful, but starting a new feature means manually creating models, views, templates, URLs, and wiring everything together. Rails solved this 20 years ago with scaffolding.

DJX brings convention over configuration to Django: pip install djx-cli djx new myblog && cd myblog djx scaffold Post title:string content:text published:boolean python manage.py migrate && python manage.py runserver # →…

Django Keel – 10 Years of Django Best Practices in One Template2025 · github.com · ▲25After 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.

DeploySolo – The SaaS boilerplate for engineers. (Pocketbase/ Htmx)2024 · deploysolo.com · ▲37Golang 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.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
