   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• Building a Blog in Django

  > The only place I really see Django at large companies is as an api using DRF or something. This is not a bad thing. Using Django as an API backend is amazingly fast in terms of development time, especially with modern frameworks such as django-ninja [1]. Just use the built-in ORM to create models, write your endpoints, and use the built-in admin interface to play with the database if you don't have endpoints for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Learning Django

  Personally, I also prefer django-ninja to DRF. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Django Views – The Right Way

  Or just use django-ninja if you are writing an API. Maybe it's just because I came from teams that used tornado and then fastapi but it seems like everything in this article would be solved by using a simpler interface for writing endpoints. https://django-ninja.rest-framework.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Django 4.2 released

  Also recommend Django-Ninja. It basically reimplements fastapi's type and decorator-based API construction, but embedded directly in django so you have access to django's ORM and middleware library. Source: about 2 years ago

• Django 4.2 Released

  A good compromise I have found is to use Django Ninja [1]. It is inspired by FastAPI, so it has a lot of the nice things like the automatically generated Swagger/OpenAPI docs, as well as having routers as decorators, and using python types for automatic serialization. While I think FastAPI is great in its first class async support, Django has the Django ORM, plus Django Admin, which for me have been indisposable.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
