Hello! I'm David, an experienced builder of web applications and information systems primarily for the scientific research sector.

I enjoy the challenge of complex problems, which I strive to solve with simple and elegant solutions, placing the end user at the core of my analyses.

I have many interests in life, but on Mastodon I will primarily focus on topics related to my work, such as , , , , , , , .

The preliminary schedule for Wagtail Space is live! I know I’m biased because I’m organizing the conference but this is an incredible line up. And we’re still adding more! Head over to our website to take a look: https://us.wagtail.space

So excited!

Remember the eggs from a week ago?
Yesterday I took the same path under a highway bridge. In one of the water sewers this little family found their temporary home.

Have you done something interesting with Wagtail recently? Submit a talk about it! We're still looking for speakers for Wagtail Space US! Especially first-time speakers and folks from underrepresented backgrounds.

Any experts kicking around?

Postgres has a bunch of fuzzy string matching tools such as trigrams and phonetic algorithms but I couldn't find anywhere in Wagtail these are taken advantage of.

Docs keep saying if you want fuzzy match you need to use Elastisearch.

Ideally I'd like search to handle common misspellings - eg writing "vat" should get you "vets" in your search result. Or "hirse" should give you results for "horse".

Is there a plugin that does this anywhere?

@xeraa@mastodon.social avatar

@jochen @andyide there are now more specialized data structures that might help you? thinking about match_only_text as a first step: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html#match-only-text-field-type

@xeraa @andyide There seems to be something like that in elasticsearch: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-as-you-type.html

But I don't know how it’s implemented or if it's fast. And if you don't have huge data, it should be doable in pure python (just load top n queries at application start) and then do something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2282579/strcmp-for-python-or-how-to-sort-substrings-efficiently-without-copy-when-buil (hmm, seems like somebody finally gave an interesting answer to my old question 😁). And this will be a lot of fun while adding a big dependency you have to maintain is not.

We just tried out Wagtail AI for in-editor LLM help. 🪄 The built-in prompt for correcting spelling and grammar works great, and we were easily able to build new prompts for making text more inclusive and preparing it for social media. Thanks @BajoranEngineer from the Wagtail core team for joining me. 🌟

@BajoranEngineer Unfortunately, not working with Azure OpenAI yet, so I need to poke in the code innards.

@pamelafox @BajoranEngineer It is cool, but the power it could have -- mandatory censorship -- is scary.

Nous allons avoir quelques disponibilités bientôt ! Une bonne occasion pour travailler avec de nouvelles clientes !

Qui aurait besoin de soutien de la part de développeureuse ?

Qui aurait besoin de développements web (site vitrine ou ecommerce, tableau de bord, outil métier, manipulation de données, etc ?) sans contraintes techniques ?

The proposed API for background task support in Wagtail looks really nice. If you replace "Wagtail" with "Django", it looks even nicer :)

👋 Fediverse folks, what do you think of adding support in or ? See discussion: https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/discussions/9732

It’s a neat idea, a few other platforms have it as a package, we’re wondering how much interest there would be

phiofx,

@wagtail @paulox lots of options indeed. Picking the brains of the maintainers of these projects probably advisable as a production ready activitypub implementation (that would federate properly e.g. with opinionated mastodon servers) seems to be a decent can of worms :-)

@phiofx @paulox @andrew @cda @alain Do you mind expanding on the "opinionated" side of things? We don’t have much ActivityPub expertise currently so even just a reference to an appropriate resource would help a lot.

samikelsh, to nonbinary

So I like birds, and I like nonbinariness, so I was like, what if birb but nonbeanie? So this is a nonbinary wagtail. This nonbinary wagtail is living their best life. And they’re also a print now in my latest shóòppe updeight! Anywho. If you like ornithology and also enby pride and want an art print that combines these two things... hi

Detail of the bird. They look very cute and happy.

Interesting article about the original goal of the Django admin module by Vince Salvino from CodeRed with the provocative title "Why is the Django Admin “Ugly”?" 🔥

Even in the 0.9x days we used to have a image that said "Admin: it's not your app".

Encouraging people to build their own management interface, and treat admin as a DB admin tool, has saved a lot of people pain.

Admin gives you some quick wins, and you can customise it. But the effort to customise it grows far faster than the payoffs.

Sadly, by the time you realise that you're too invested, and nobody wants to spend the time to build a management interface.

I would summarize it as:

  • if you need a basic CRUD interface to your data, for admins/devs: Django Admin
  • if you need a bonafide CMS: Wagtail
  • if you need administrative functions with complex workflow/biz logic, or user-facing features: write your own views
