Picking the right Tool for the Job
This is a sentence I've heard countless times over the years, and it is often followed up with the corollary "If all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". There is a lot of truth and depth to these statements!
Signals in Django is not what you want
When I was new to Django and building an application, I soon found myself wanting to lower the coupling between various parts of business logic. In particular, there was a requirement that specific changes to data needed to be logged in a way that would be accessible to users. For instance, when a user would post a message, or add another user to a project, or delete some information from a project, a log entry would be created to record the action. These log entries would have their own list view, where users would then be able to filter and sort through the events to see what had been going on in their project.
PWA Playground
I've started looking a little bit into Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and I thought it would be fun to create a little playground for myself to experiment with them. As I've written in my previous post JAMstack appeal, I am curious about static, light-weight, server-less websites and PWAs are a great way to achieve that.
