I explore how we can make Django more welcoming by modernizing project initialization. Introducing DJ Beat Drop - a simpler way to start Django projects.

Check out the proposal and join the discussion:

Boosts appreciated! 💚

Epicserve · Improving the New Django Developer ExperienceImage created by ChatGPT

@epicserve @webology this is super-interesting. I'm coming to Django from nearly 20 years of Rails, and have not found the developer experience to be pleasant. Happy to help kick the tires on this!

@ruralocity @epicserve Brent and I have some different opinions on prompts and direction, but I'm really glad to see him starting the conversation about why Django's DX experience hasn't really changed.

@webology @ruralocity It's alpha, so I'm willing to change things. 💚 At this point, I want to gather feedback and see what the community thinks and then use the feedback to improve it.

@ruralocity @webology Thank you! I would love to hear your feedback. I also looked at Rails 8 beta when trying to find inspiration.

@epicserve awesome! I have send this information up to check out! Happy New Year!
