I created this thread for Django aspirants, intermediate and experienced Django developers to share knowledge and projects that you have or been working on.

I have worked and been working on a lot of projects such as sport app, loan calculator, and employee management.
The one I just finished is just a social media clone project and it took a bit of my time.

Bro, we are in the same boat, I love writing my views in functions because I will be able to express myself without initiating anything.

All my Django projects was written in function based views, unless I am using DRF, then I write in class based views.
Function based views has been my savior.

Nice!
So it's not only me.
With function based views, I can be in total control and be flexible.

For forms, I prefer using ModelForm if possible.

Yes. I agree with you.
Mostly forms are inheriting from ModelForm unless you are using a form that does nothing with your model or you just want to simplify things, rather than using forms and later incorporate it to your Model. It might be time consuming tho.

When deploying to heroku, you have to manage your media files somewhere else, because heroku use dynos and it restarts the dynos everyday and can only serve static files.
You can use different cloud hosting sites but the one I prefer most is AWS.

Yes. I agree with you.

The part in Django that I am still struggling with is user registration, login and logout.

I have noticed most things are based on oop (classes) and inheritance.

It is not that hard, even I use function based views for my user registration, I just use default django Auth user authentication with my custom settings...
If you need my assistance on that, I will be glad to be of help.

Good work!

Did you build an api for this app?
Also, did you have to pay for the hosting on heroku?

Samcent:

Yes bro, the backend is using Django while the frontend is using React.
On heroku, hosting is free because they will give you their subdomain, that's why .herokuapp is there but you can add your own custom domain from them hosting websites.
Thanks for your comment BTW.

Thanks for sharing. I am adding building django web api to my skill set in this lock down.

Apologies if I am asking too many questions.
Is the db mysql?

When hosting on pythonanywhere, as long as your db is postgres, you must part with some money even if you are using their subdomain.

I used default django database which is dbsqlite3 and on heroku, there is a free addon database given to you if you wanna host your app which is postgres.

You can use postgres from the start with Django if you wanna host on heroku but hosting your app on heroku comes with a free database which is postgres.

Pythonanywhere uses mysql for their regular users but postgres for paid plans only whereas heroku is not..
Hope this helps....

This info will be very helpful indeed. Wondering why I have been shying away from heroku all this while.
Thanks so very much and keep up with the good work.
