I've been working on my "Puzzlehunt Server" project for roughly 5 years now, and it is finally starting to see more traction than ever.

Link: https://www.puzzlehunt.club

Code: https://github.com/dlareau/puzzlehunt_server

The project currently serves as the main site for PuzzlehuntCMU, a group from Carnegie Mellon that writes and runs their own puzzlehunts, but the point of the project in general now-a-days is for any group that wants to run a puzzlehunt to be able to stand up a copy of the server and just go.

We recently just hosted a 24 hour, 1400 person, 400 team (5x the max number of users we've ever seen before) event a few weeks ago and thankfully everything held up fine.

Also a full time startup, we're building a platform for controlling access to housing communities in Mexico. Currently developing an API to create a mobile app with Flutter + Django!

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

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I'll have a public demo next week. Will let you know and provide demo login credentials.

https://www.circuitlab.com my initial commit with Django is 2011-09-22, last commit is yesterday! (Though after a very positive developer experience working in Ruby on Rails when I worked at Triplebyte, I'd probably lean toward RoR for a new project.)

I haven't worked with Rails for quite a few years - how does it stack up these days vs Django?

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.

You have a two classes .overflow-hidden and .flex-1. The flex-1 class has the property flex: 1 1 0%. Since the flex-basis is 0, I assume the overflow hidden is just chopping it all off. Try a flex: 1 0 auto;

Thank you so much for your help! I'll try this tonight!

I started disabling some of the css, and I was able to get the projects to start to appear. I have no idea what the root issue is, but I think you could probably sort out which css is problematic on safari, and either render the page differently on safari or choose a different layout that is more cross-browser friendly? Here's a screenshot to show what I started disabling: https://i.imgur.com/BinJqAD.png

Thanks for giving this a try, this means a lot. Will try to play with CSS tonight!

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…
