For the "Supercharge your Dev Environment" workshop I want to give the "wildest edge case" award!

@BajoranEngineer A case, with absurdly groovy edges!

If it’s a digital version, then a certificate with very wild edges (for example something built with CSS border-image: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/border-image/)

Working on my blog this morning. At every turn today I have bumped contributions/content by @carlton

Currently reading https://noumenal.es/notes/tailwind/django-integration/

Specifically I got stuck on:

> are you really adding paths to you venv’s site-packages?

@wagtail@fosstodon.org avatar

@carlton @davidsmith If you’re doing models… we’re currently working on an end-to-end "portfolio site with Wagtail" tutorial which you might find interesting if you wanted to consider a CMS. Draft content (without all the proper explanations): https://github.com/thibaudcolas/your-wagtail-portfolio, with real-world homepage and blog section models

We’re hoping the proper step-by-step tutorial with explanations to be ready for use in about a month, ending with deployment

I need some advice.

I'm increasingly unhappy with WordPress. It's the wrong tool for most client jobs.

I really like @getkirby. It's flexible, fast, easy. It's mature but fresh. The source is open but... it's not .

I trust these developers to behave ethically. It checks more feature boxes than any other CMS, by far. But, it lacks the insurance of that license.

WP is open, but feels proprietary. Kirby is proprietary, but feels open.

What would you do?

wagtail,
@wagtail@fosstodon.org avatar

@_KevinTrainor @ryangorley @postroutine @doctormo Compared to WordPress, Wagtail’s strength will be how flexible it is, and in particular being able to have a solid ecosystem (Django + packages) for parts of the sites / pages that might not need any CMS features at all. There’s less "batteries included" though, it’s meant for devs keen to do quite a bit of coding with Django’s ORM. https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/getting_started/the_zen_of_wagtail.html is a good read if you want to consider it further.

So, there is now a plugin to put a blog on the , but is there an equivalent for , or more generally for / powered sites? @django @wagtail do you have any lead?

@Ash_Crow @django

So we have had a discussion in the Wagtail project about adding support, but concluded it would make more sense for that functionality to be an option external package. You can see the discussion here:

https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/discussions/9732

@andrew stated that he is an "alleged expert" on the topic. Here's a link to one of his ActivityPub experiments with Django:
