    Hey everyone. I have dedicated 4 years of my life to building a solution for easy deployment of [primarily] Python and Django apps. Think of it as an equivalent of Laravel Forge/Hatchbox but for Python apps. For those who are not familiar – Platform as a service on your cloud or on-prem servers. I have posted here 2 years ago and a lot has changed since then. What's new: - New great and easy to use dashboard - backups for databases - cronjobs - stats resources of servers and apps - tons of stability improvements.

    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.

    Hi 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…
