Started as a simple python script to scratch my own itch to track USCIS Visa Bulletins and my Green Card progress. Due to demand by friends and co-workers who had the same need, I used it as a learning opportunity and created a website powered by Django and Beautiful Soup: https://www.seekingvisa.com/

#54Built with Django is a really interesting project. It looks good for me on Chrome, but I don't see any projects on Safari. I'm on Mojave 10.14.6, Safari 13.1.
Thanks! Yes, I am aware of the problem you are referring to. I've known about it for some time, but I can't do anything about it. I just don't understand why the images don't show up. I've searched everywhere, but couldn't find the solution. I fanyone here knows how to solve it, I'd be forever grateful.
Here's a screenshot to show what I started disabling: https://i.imgur.com/BinJqAD.png

Sorry, didn't want to criticize what seems to be a cool service but I thought you should know!

#57For 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…
> Earlier this year we did the mythic trek to Python3 and are enjoying the all the new Django goodies. Can you share anything about how that upgrade journey went? What are some of the newer features that have been helpful for you? Were those features you knew would be helpful, or were you happily surprised?
We were excited to have Django Migrations (So long, South!) and honestly it's great to have access to current docs again.
We did have a snag with memory leaks in a threadpool in one of our non-django Python APIs. It was actually our worst outage in 5 years because it failed several hours after we deployed and we were no longer staring at our graphs.
(Maybe I can get August to write a blog post about how he accidentally sent a million emails to our personal inboxes while trying to clean that up)

I have recommended this to many people looking for such roles. Thank you for building this!
Re: Ask HN: What's your Django side project?
#59Lately 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!
Re: Ask HN: What's your Django side project?
#60It's still quite rough around the edges, mostly due to me being demotivated for not having a good way to host it. Now solved with linode+dokku which I am super happy with.
This is a site i have wanted for decades and I Googled after it every year for a decade before I realized I could build it myself with the data from wikidata.
