Hi! I have two projects that i'm working with django.

First, on my job, on a public institution (scientific also), i'm developing a website to control and monitoring the status of a GNSS (GPS) network, the scheme of all the network and equipment, particular status, etc.

Integrated with celery to generate periodic reports and a view in what we can se the status in real time from every station. Uses last Django version (python 3.7), celery, rabbitmq, postgresql, redis, bulma css(and pure javascript on ui).

Is not published yet because i'm working on details, and maybe only will be disposable by the internal VPN https://gitlab.com/pineiden/dj-webo-collector

The other, is for a personal project with friends about teach technology to common people. https://gitlab.com/pineiden/web-curso-programacion https://www.cursodeprogramacion.cl/

And the plan is build a platform to support education plans, not only teach programming, also workshops or courses of any subjects.

So that, i learned a lot since around six years playing with django and now i think i can manage well.

BR!

Not a side project but a full-time startup: https://narrationbox.com Built with Django and Gatsby (the latter migration is still work-in-progress).

Are migrating from react?

Not migrating from, migrating to. Our app is heavy on the media and ML side and manually stitching together templates, CSS, and preprocessing content were becoming unmaintainable. It is easier to have Gatsby Plugins deal with asset preprocessing and management.

I have been working on WebGazer ( https://www.webgazer.io ) since 2015 and even if the stack got bigger with time, it has Django in its foundation :) It started as a simple website monitoring product and evolved from there. It enables customers to monitor websites, REST APIs and cron jobs on the same platform. I also added status page functionality (e.g. https://status.webgazer.io ) some time ago. I have a day job bu…

th0th, just added webgazer to builtwithdjango directory :) https://builtwithdjango.com/webgazer

thank you!

I'm a lawyer. I found myself writing a lot of legal briefs—but didn't like the Bluebooking and cite-checking part (it's kind of like linting code, but for lawyers and their briefs). So, I used Django to create http://www.cite.ly , which automates the process of checking legal writing for Bluebooking errors and misquotations of case law through a web app. We turned a 5- to 10-hour process into one that takes 10 minute…

I'm a Swiss lawyer working as a court clerk and have dabbled with Django myself (automating documents using python-docx and python-docx-template). I find this interesting and was wondering if you could elaborate on how you built this.

The short answer is: mostly, a lot of regex. Yes, there’s also a lot more to it. Happy to discuss—reach out at michael@cite.ly :)

I made a webapp called "Disqors" (https://www.disqors.com/latest). It's backend largely runs on Django.

I connect online articles into discussion graphs and intersperse the top tweets about them. There are feeds that filter the discussions in different ways (exchanges among top authors, most discussed articles). It's also possible to see a specific discussion graph in its entirety, e.g. the discussion around Marc Andreessen's "It's Time to Build" essay: https://www.disqors.com/discussions/36672

https://mapsofmind.com Django - channels - celery Another project to be launched soon that uses a similar stack. Just waiting on stripe activation.

FYI, you website is displayed to me in French (makes sense, I am!). However, the problem is that the French translation is quite poor and I can't seem to find a way to switch to English? Sorry, didn't want to criticize what seems to be a cool service but I thought you should know!

Hey! Sorry for the late response. By default only English was available but I found a lot of my users we from France, so I added the French language support using Google translate - that's why the translation is poor.

I'll try to add a way to switch locale to English or do you think it's better to keep just English as the only language till I can get other languages translated professionally?

Edit: Added language dropdown on the top-right of the landing page.

Thats an excellent landing page. Are you using React?

Hey! I just saw your reply.

No, I don't use any framework (still haven't had the time to learn any) - it's just ES5.

Just pushed out the alpha of the 5th edition of our book, which is titled: "Two Scoops of Django 3.x". Here's the product page: https://www.feldroy.com/products/two-scoops-of-django-3-x Also working on a book writing app where the file generating service backend is monitored by a Django project. Launches soon!

Ooh! Very excited about this. Can't wait.

Hi! Thanks for taking into account my request, I appreciate it! Just wanted to warn you that I unfortunately have a CSRF error when trying to switch the language.
