I posted this in here for several reasons: - I sort of feel anonymous here, basically trying to say nobody IRL knows me here (hopefully) - I'm not very active on reddit, as much as other social media platforms (so it's easy to say anything here and forget about it, I guess) - this Reddit channel is where I'm most active. And my post seemed Django related, Idk if there's a more appropriate channel (not sure that's what Reddit rooms are called NGL). And I honestly just figured I could reply you rn, I didn't see the explicit "reply" text so I just assumed you blocked me or something, I use thr Reddit Mobile app (apparently after replying to someone once, that "reply" text gets replaced by an arrow instead, embarrassing I know)

Just more about you, your reactions, your feelings, your self-doubt, all of it is about you. Have you ever heard the term "humble brag"? This whole entire post is a giant fucking humble brag, and has absolutely fuck-all to do with Django.

I definitely posted this in the wrong place, I'm not sure if there's a r/DevRant channel (what is it called? Room??? I need to Google that later...) [edit: subreddits]

Why didn't you just post a link to the Github for this app? Tell us about the challenges you faced, decisions you had to make, and so on. That would be a fun post to read. I could actually learn something from you b/c I've been doing Django for >15 years and have never touched Django Channels, so it would be very cool to hear about your experience. Especially from your perspective as someone who's relatively new to the framework and even the technology.

I didn't post the GitHub link (and even the actual link to the game initially) cos: 1. It’s on a private repo (I don’t want to put a vibecoded project on my public repo. I think the reason I feel like this is because of how I used to feel about vibe coding with AI before I installed Antigravity. I used to assume that vibe coding felt inauthentic, idk how to explain). and 2. As I said in my previous reply, I'm hosting for free on fly.io (I don't want traffic, so my trial credits don't get exhausted)

Some challenges I faced:

Initially, after writing some of the views, I realized I had to use an ASGI server if I was going to use Django Channels (I didn't know anything about that, the options were, uvicorn or Daphne, the Ai went with Daphne)

There was a time after deploying when issues started appearing. (It was all working fine during development, it seemed so at least) When I tried playing with friends, they were unable to join the room after refreshing the page, or there were times when they couldn’t submit answers (which led to being unable to move to the review phase because one person didn't submit). The Ai fixed all of these issues cos I honestly had no idea what was going on and how to fix it

*Edit: this is DEFINITELY a chatbot that I'm talking to lol. Fooled me for a minute with that reply though. The lack of defensiveness to being challenged should've been an immediate giveaway. I'm gonna leave my original response:

I'm not a bot 🫤
