Last Notes npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K For people liking dj-database-url, django-cache-url and packages like that: I have released an update to speckenv which also supports the new `MAILERS` configuration in Django 6.1 or better. Get it here: npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I think this is a good take. I don't want my project managers to be taken away from me though! 😄 npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I published a blog post looking back at the recent @nprofile…7m6z Django sprint. It's the longest blog post I have ever published (except for two posts containing many code samples) npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K Writing down some notes for an upcoming blog post about #djangoonthemed which took place the last few days. I had a great time and I'm now enjoying the last full day in Pescara before heading back home tomorrow morning. @nprofile…7m6z npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…5qc7 I'm not sure I agree with this take. Disclosing contributions can make sense when debugging: I would tend to be more critical of these commits when bisecting failures later. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I sat down and wrote another Weeknotes entry on what I did in #Django land in the last six weeks. I should maybe rename the category to Monthnotes, but that doesn't roll of the tongue as smoothly, really. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I have published a blog post describing how we use #Django 's JSON field (using django-json-schema-editor) for referencing other model instances in CMS content while preserving referential integrity: https://406.ch npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I have finally written the #Django, #rspack and ManifestStaticFilesStorage blog post I wanted to write for a long time: https://406.ch/ npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 Thank you! It has been sitting in my drafts folder for weeks, I'm really happy I managed to get it out yesterday during our co-writing session. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 this is the way, although I used Google Keep for this. Still haven't looked at the takeout data at all. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K Going back and forth on various ways to add importmap support to #django npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 But of course removing arguments and simplifying the code flow is nice and I would prefer to keep the new way only. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 Just saying, the "old" way of using `config={}` in Python code still works, I'm still using it in a few projects! npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 did it work? Should I bring back createEditor even though I don't want to use it? I feel a bit bad for breaking your stuff. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 I'm sorry in advance 😊 😅 npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I wrote another thing about django-prose-editor and the work I've been doing recently to rewrite it on top of Tiptap (which uses ProseMirror, so it's still good): https://406.ch/writing/rebuilding-django-prose-editor-from-the-ground-up/ npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 Yes, that one has been there from day one! :) npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 I have updated the README, it now contains an example of what I'm attempting to do with the editor: https://github.com/matthiask/django-prose-editor/blob/main/README.rst#customization npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 right now the feature set and API are exactly the same! The only difference is an unfortunate additional ~100kb of JavaScript 😵💫 npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K Doing a lot of work on django-prose-editor these days. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 Yes, I totally get that. There certainly is value in teaching people and being patient, but there comes a point when I worry it's not about teaching anymore but about preferences. That's definitely the moment when I add the finishing touches myself in the projects I work on. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 Yeah, it doesn't really mattter, does it? npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K Django code review processes are brutal. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @nprofile…m624 I never know if Django wants to be welcoming to (relative) newcomers or if it wants to be for advanced users when reading these threads. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @npub1wfj…2ewz @npub1tp2…sx9c @npub1khp…9jfl npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K Great #djangochat episode, @npub1tp2…sx9c @npub1wfj…2ewz @npub1khp…9jfl npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I heartily recommend the latest #DjangoChat episode with the #Django fellows. A great listen. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K I wrote a blog post about django-content-editor (and by extension feincms3) now supporting nested sections in the default #Django administration interface: https://406.ch/writing/django-content-editor-now-supports-nested-sections/ npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @npub1wfj…2ewz Thanks! I didn't know that either. I'm going to drop 3.9 from many projects in the next few days :) npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K What a week. Had a mountain bike accident on Thursday in the simplest section of the trail, of course! Fell unconscious for a second while cleaning and disinfecting the wounds and hit the head on the door frame. Luckily there doesn't seem to be any lasting damage and I feel really good today. Thanks for medicine, the staff at the hospital, painkillers and a somewhat well-working insurance system. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @npub1wfj…2ewz Thank you 🥰 npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K django-rosetta is great, but it doesn't work well when using Kubernetes and read-only images. npub1zurhseu72gn4s8wxjsefllk8ewuucns7jaey02sjhnnk0j3cfvxsdkg2c5 Matthias K @npub1wfj…2ewz
