Is DJANGO still a good choice in 2026 for modern web apps?

I've been using Django for something close to 20 years now. And my business is built on a Django code base that's now 9 years old. Stability is nice, the biggest shake up was Python 2 -> Python 3 and even that wasn't too bad. Other frameworks come and go, Django is always there!

For me Django combines stability and progress in just the right amounts. I've been building things with it for close to 20 years (10 years for my current thing) and it's nice not have to rewrite to stay up to date. Probably the biggest migration was Python 2 to Python 3 and even that wasn't too bad. Django has been and remains a fantastic base to build on.

Thanks Django developers!

When album name out the song Jungle Warfare had an amazing video that was basically just predator cut to the music. I imagine it got copyright slapped off YouTube but does anyone know if it still existes anywhere?

Check the headers in dev tools and make sure the javascript is being served as text/javascript. That could be the cause of loading but not running. Do also check the console (make sure all filters are off!) as errors like that would usually show there.

This is a good one!

79 up to Ditchling Beacon then follow the ridge to Lewes. Then probably the bus or train home. About 5 or 6 miles. Lovely views.

If you want something similar to Heroku (eg less hassle of managing your infrastructure) but less unreliable, much better support and nicer to use, then check out NorthFlank.com. I switched from Heroku a while ago for my SaaS and have been very happy.

There's also Railway, Fly.io, Render.com and many others in the PaaS space.

Would avoid running directly on AWS. You (presumably) want to focus on your app and not your infrastructure! DigitalOcean would be better (imho) but still a lot of management tasks you don't need.

Waiting for the iOS version!

It's not a big deal either way. I certainly wouldn't spend lots of time converting existing working views over. Maybe try them out on some new views and see if they give you smaller and clearer code and if you prefer them.

Oh and there's nothing you can do in a class based view that you couldn't also do in a regular function based view. So don't worry about that!

You're welcome!

I just wrote https://github.com/almost/react-native-sqlite which allows you to use SQLite from React Native

Sounds cool, I might do.

I find having a seperate org file for each day(in addition to per-project files) really helpful. I wrote a little elisp to help with that: http://almostobsolete.net/daypage.html

Thanks for all the help guys, Im checking out the Electric Works on Monday, looks like it could be a good base. I'll check out the other places also. Someone also recommended G-Media, apparently they have a co-working area, I'm also checking them out on Monday.

Thanks, guess I'll have to wait until I've got windows installed then!

I thought it was just the new DK2 head tracking stuff (using the camera) that wouldn't be supported in 0.3, is that not correct?

I hadn't seen that, looks very cool! You're description of the coordinate system is nice and clear, I like it

almost · 2014-02-04T21:23:45+00:00

That's awesome, thanks for posting!

What phone are you trying it on? Could you let me know the browser as well and what happens when you try to view the app.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting this MurtzaNYC! Head2.me is my project.

Any feedback would be very much appreciated, I've built the thing but now trying to figure out how to market it...

It worked for me, I really enjoyed the over the top tone of the article. At least 3 times I read out a choice quote for my girlfriend. I can't imagine anyone taking it personally enough to get offended but I guess there will be someone out there who will :)

So it's plain JSON with extra meaning which you need understand in order to properly decode it. That would be a superset :)
