I started running a basic link blog on this domain back in November 2003 - publishing links (which I called "blogmarks") with a title, URL, short snippet of commentary and a "via" link where appropriate. So far I've published 7,607 link blog posts and counting. In April of this year I finally upgraded my link blog to support Markdown, allowing me to expand my link blog into something with a lot more room. The way I use my link blog has evolved substantially in the eight months since then. I'm g…

Weeknotes (2024 week 51) Building forms using Django I last wrote about this topic in April. It has resurfaced on Mastodon this week. I’m thinking about writing a feincms3-forms demo app, but I already have too much on my plate. I think composing a forms builder on top of django-content-editor is the way to go, instead of replacing the admin interface altogether – sure, you can always do that, but it’s so much less composable… Releases blacknoise 1.2: No real changes, added support for Python …

Continuing from yesterday, the point of this architecture choice is simplify the codebase and align the logic across multiple models, forms and views. However if it doesn't work for the features we need then I'm not against adopting more usual patterns and packages to get the job done (ie django-taggit for tagging/filtering). Before we get into how the filtering works, there is a slight correction from yesterday. It turns out Django Guardian is using a Generic Foreign Key under the hood to link…

Object-based assets for Django’s forms.Media The pull request for adding object-based script media assets into Django is in a good state and I hope it will be merged soon. I have been using object-based assets long before Django actually added support for them in 4.1 (since 2016, that’s before Django 1.10!) by using a gross hack. Luckily I have been able to clean up the code when Django 4.1 landed. I have been asking myself at times why I haven’t proposed the change to Django myself despite hav…
