Re: Ask HN: What's your Django side project?

Lately I have been trying to cover more ground in popular Python frameworks since despite many years of using it, most of my experience is scientific programming, "short job" scripts, and a few CLI and GUI tools; now that I am looking for a job, I found that recruiters wouldn't believe me that I am a Python "developer" unless I can point to some web-hosted projects; so I decided to attack Django and Flask simultaneou…

Sounds cool, one of my goals of learning Django was to merge my interests in Data Science and Web Development, sort of Data Science as a Software (DSaaS).

Do you have a demo link? Would love to check it out!

I've been working on a small Django project called https://CodeSnippetSearch.net . It allows you to search through code snippets using natural language. Currently, Python, Java, Go, Php, Javascript, and Ruby programming languages are supported. As with any cool project nowadays, CodeSnippetSearch is powered by neural networks (six in fact - one for each programming language). The project is open-sourced and you can r…

It's way too advanced for my current skill level but is certainly I am working towards. Nice job!

https://cronitor.io is built with Django. It was a side project from March 2014 to March 2020, but as of last month it’s now my full-time job!

Looks there are CSS issues right now, just FYI. The bundle. .css is 404ing.

The joys of bringing up new machines while simultaneously posting on HN. ;)

Thanks for calling that out!

Planyourmeals.com. about 2.5 years and counting when I thought it would take 3 months. Oh well still learning every day

Oh, I can certainly relate! Each time I start a project I think it will take x amount of time ends up taking 10 times more. Do you have a landing page? Or is it only possible to login / register?

I'm literally working on the landing page this week :)

For 6 years I’ve been building Cronitor.io with my best friend and business partner, August.

We started on Django 1.6 and I’ll admit: we liked it so much we stuck with that version for 5 years (ha ha).

Earlier this year we did the mythic trek to Python3 and are enjoying the all the new Django goodies.

August is working full time on Cronitor but for me it’s still technically a “side project” — for now!

Edit: sorry for the dupe! August already posted here.

Im building the webapp for PyATL (python Atlanta group). Progress is slow but steady. Streaming it on https://twitch.com/pyatl (the stream might not be for everyone). Code is at https://github.com/pyatl/big-peach See it live at https://pyatl.dev Note that this is a super bare bones web app right now.

I built https://www.spacereference.org, which compiles information on asteroids and comets from multiple data sources.

The Django project is open source here (https://github.com/judymou/spacedb) but most of my ongoing work is on the visualization rather than the Django side here (https://github.com/typpo/spacekit/).
