I've been building in Django for a long time and I love the framework, but some things have always bugged me:
  
Typing is exceptionally painful...and getting proper type safety across a Django project is a fight
 the ORM leaks throughout your project: it's easy to chain ORM methods in a view, a serializer, a template tag, a Celery task, etc and N+1s end up being difficult to find
 models become god objects: custom managers, save overrides, signal handlers, computed properties, validation logic, your models attract everything until they're 500 lines of tangled responsibilities.
 tests become slow over time because you either hit the DB for everything or mock too aggressively: this is because there's no clear encapsulated layers.
  
and a ton of other stuff including aesthetics...
 Anyway, the short version of my solution is to push all ORM work into repositories that return Pydantic DTOs. Services get repos via constructor injection and contain pure business logic with zero model imports. Your views become one-liners. Every layer boundary is typed, and each layer is independently testable.
 Some of the opinions:
  
Prefixed ULID primary keys: double-clickable Stripe-style IDs like ord_01jq3v... on every model.
 Models are dumb but aesthetic: Meta first, fields in a strict order (identifiers, times, status, domain, relations), all indexes and constraints declared explicitly in Meta, zero business logic.
 Repositories return DTOs, never querysets so the ORM never leaks past this layer. This is where 90% of Django's typing hassles end.
 Services own the business logic injected via https://svcs.hynek.me, tested without a database by mocking the repo. This makes tests super fast and composable.
 Thin django-ninja routes give you input validation and OpenAPI for free, handlers are just calling services get(MyService).do_thing() in a DI-esque way.
 Reliable signals via Celery side-effects enqueued inside the DB transaction so rollbacks are respected. This gets us pretty close to a DBOS or Temporal. Adapted from https://hakibenita.com/django-reliable-signals.
 Three test layers the repos test against a real DB, service against mocked repos, API through mocked services. This keeps the tests fast and clean.
  
Disclaimer: These are super opinionated. They won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. But they've held up well on large-scale projects and I thought they might be useful to others who are looking for a clean way to structure Django beyond the "everything in views.py" stage.

After 15 years of building production Django apps, these are the patterns I keep using... (packaged as Agent skills)

<div class="md">Trying to get a clearer picture of what people are actually running for background task processing in Django projects right now.

How are you handling background tasks in Django right now — is Celery still the default?

<div class="md">I&#39;ve been working on <a href="https://github.com/djust-org/djust">djust</a> for a while and just wrapped up the 0.4 series, so figured I&#39;d share where things are at. The short version: it&#39;s a Phoenix LiveView-style framework for Django. You write Python, get reactive UIs over WebSocket. A Rust VDOM engine handles the diffing and DOM patching. No API layer, no React/Vue, no webpack. Here&#39;s what a basic view looks like: <pre><code>class CounterView(LiveView): template_name = &quot;counter.html&quot; def mount(self, request, **kwargs): self.count = 0 @event_handler def increment(self, **kwargs): self.count += 1 &lt;h1&gt;{{ count }}&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;button dj-click=&quot;increment&quot;&gt;+1&lt;/button&gt; </code></pre> Click the button, count updates over WebSocket. That&#39;s it. The big additions in 0.4 were around making common UI patterns work without writing any JavaScript. So now you can do stuff like: <pre><code>&lt;input dj-input=&quot;search&quot; dj-debounce=&quot;300&quot;&gt; &lt;div dj-shortcut=&quot;ctrl+k:open_search, escape:close_modal&quot;&gt; &lt;button dj-click=&quot;save&quot; dj-disable-with=&quot;Saving...&quot; dj-lock&gt; &lt;div dj-click-away=&quot;close_dropdown&quot;&gt; </code></pre> Debounce, throttle, keyboard shortcuts, click-away, disable-with. All just HTML attributes. We also added the ability for the server to push JS commands to the browser directly: <pre><code>@event_handler def open_panel(self, **kwargs): self.push_commands( JS.add_class(&quot;active&quot;, to=&quot;#panel&quot;) .focus(&quot;#search-input&quot;) ) </code></pre> Built on top of that, there&#39;s a <code>TutorialMixin</code> that lets you define a guided onboarding tour as a Python list and the framework handles all the highlighting, positioning, and step progression. Probably overkill for most apps but it was a fun way to prove out the server-driven UI primitives. The other big chunk of work was stability. About 15 bug fixes for things people actually hit when building real apps: private attributes getting wiped between WebSocket events, Python types like <code>set()</code> and <code>Decimal</code> failing to serialize, VDOM patcher edge cases.

Hey everyone,
 Fullstack dev here. If you’re like me, you probably love the Django Admin. It’s the "killer feature" that makes Django so productive. But as soon as you move to a decoupled frontend (React/Vue/Svelte) and a REST API (DRF), you lose that "instant UI" magic and end up rebuilding the same CRUD tables and forms over and over.
 I built something to bring that "instant UI" workflow to any API, regardless of the backend.
 UIGen - point it at your OpenAPI spec (generated by drf-spectacular or similar), and get a fully interactive React frontend in seconds.
 npx @uigen-dev/cli serve ./openapi.yaml
 # UI is live at http://localhost:4400
 Why use this if I have Django Admin?
 Django Admin is amazing, but it’s tied to the DB and server-side templates. UIGen is different:
  
Decoupled: It talks to your API endpoints, respecting your DRF serializers, permissions, and business logic.
 Modern SPA: It’s a full React SPA (shadcn/ui + TanStack Table) that feels like a premium SaaS product.
 Framework Agnostic: Today it’s React, but since it uses a custom Intermediate Representation (IR), I'm already working on Svelte and Vue renderers. Same spec, different frontend stack.
  
How it works
 It parses your spec and converts it into an Intermediate Representation (IR) , a typed description of your resources, operations, schemas, auth, and relationships. A pre-built React SPA reads that IR and renders the appropriate views. A Vite dev server serves the SPA and proxies API calls to your real backend, handling CORS and Auth injection automatically.
 What it generates
  
Sidebar nav auto-built from your resources.
 Table views with sorting, pagination, and filtering.
 Create/edit forms with Zod validation (derived from your schema).
 Detail views with related resource links.
 Auth flows 
  
- 
  
Bearer, API Key, HTTP Basic, and even full credential-based login detection.
 Custom action buttons for non-CRUD endpoints (e.g., POST /orders/{id}/cancel).
 Dashboard with resource counts.
  
Current Limitation
  
Circular Refs: Deeply nested circular $refs may degrade gracefully rather than resolving perfectly.
 Edit Pre-population: Requires a GET /resource/{id} endpoint.
 Sub-resources: Parent-child navigation is currently focused on the detail pages.
 Pixel Perfect: It’s not a design tool; it’s a functional, professional tool.
 **And many other edge cases.
  
Try it on your DRF API
 If you use drf-spectacular, just download your schema and run:
 npx @uigen-dev/cli serve ./schema.yaml
  
GitHub: https://github.com/darula-hpp/uigen
 npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@uigen-dev/cli
  
Would love to hear thoughts from the Django community. Of course, this isn't meant to replace a custom consumer-facing frontend, but for internal tools, rapid prototyping, or providing a UI for your API consumers, it’s a massive time-saver.
 Happy coding!

 After running into these issues repeatedly, I mapped out six stages of reliability for Celery/RabbitMQ setups:
  
Best Effort: fire-and-forget, at-most-once delivery, tasks can vanish silently
 Transactional Boundary: wrapping commands in atomic transactions to prevent out-of-sync data
 Publishing on Commit: using delay_on_commit so tasks aren't queued before the transaction succeeds
 Publisher Confirms: getting actual confirmation that the broker received and persisted the message
 Outbox Pattern: persisting intent to the database first, dispatching later, giving you at-least-once delivery
 Clusters and Quorum Queues: replication strategies and where classic queues can still lose messages

Most Celery tutorials cover the basics, but they rarely mention what can go wrong when publishing a message.

Hi everyone, I want to re-introduce my package ChanX, an extension for Django Channels that makes WebSocket and realtime app development and maintenance much easier.
 As a developer who has been heavily working on realtime applications (group messaging, realtime voice handling with Deepgram integration, AI assistant chat), I always wished there was a package that could extend Django Channels to provide:
  
Easier WebSocket (chat/data) handling without if-else hell
 Type safety that works with mypy and pyright to catch errors before writing tests or going live in production
 Auto-documentation with AsyncAPI-compatible docs autogenerated from code, similar to how drf-spectacular generates OpenAPI from DRF serializers
 Testing utilities that make testing flows predictable and correct
 Logging helpers, like django-structlog, to trace what was received and what was sent in a message handling flow
 Even a command line tool to generate code from the generated docs (e.g. for other microservices to use)
  
And if you have ever used Django Channels to handle WebSocket/realtime messaging, I think you have likely run into these same problems:
  
Inconsistent implementations between consumers: some use if-else, some use match-case, resulting in messy logic
 Painful code reviews, since you cannot tell when something will respond or what it accepts without carefully reading through the full code end to end
 Slow onboarding and slow integration with other teams (e.g. frontend) due to the lack of any documentation or API contract (AsyncAPI docs are very helpful here)
 Testing that is hard and unpredictable, since the default testing in Django Channels is based on timing or the first response, but sometimes we need more
 Difficulty tracing how and where the code runs
  
So I built ChanX based on what I have done, faced, and wished I had for my last project. I am using it now and I love it. I built it with careful design and active maintenance, so I hope you find it useful and never have to face these problems again.
 Some use cases where ChanX works well:
  
Realtime messaging (one-on-one or group chat with broadcasting and notifications)
 Realtime voice assistants (e.g. Deepgram, OpenAI) or chat assistants with streaming responses
 Any scenario that involves group messaging, broadcasting, or push notifications over WebSocket
  
Also, some people have suggested using SSE rather than WebSocket when working with Django. I think in simple cases that would be fine, but I prefer the WebSocket/Channels approach because we get proper async handling and proper documentation (AsyncAPI).
 Here are the links for my package:
  
Github: https://github.com/huynguyengl99/chanx
 PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/chanx
 Documentation: https://chanx.readthedocs.io/
 Tutorial for newcomers: https://chanx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial-django/prerequisites.html
  
Hope you all find it useful.

ChanX: An extension library for Django Channels that makes building realtime applications a breeze

<div class="md">I don’t know if it’s just me, but every time I tried to build something with people online it went the same way. People are interested. You create a group. Everyone disappears after a couple of days. So a couple of weeks ago I started working on something to fix that. It’s basically a place where you can: join real projects (not just ideas) form small teams based on stack and actually work together (tasks, chat, code, etc.) Right now we’re around 150 users. Only a small part is actually active (\~20), but those teams are really building stuff. So now I’m trying to understand what makes the difference.

Hey everyone,
 I’ve been working on Trip Nest — a hotel booking-style platform with a Django REST API and a Next.js dashboard.
 What it does
  
Search and browse hotels with filters
 Hotel details: rooms, facilities, photos, location
 Bookings: guest flows for upcoming and past trips
 Accounts: JWT auth, guest/host roles, host verification, wishlists
 Admin-side pieces for managing catalog and properties
 OpenAPI docs at /api/docs/ and /api/redoc/
  
Observability
 The backend exports traces over OTLP HTTP (default http://localhost:4318/v1/traces) so you can point it at Jaeger or any compatible collector. Logs are structured JSON (via structlog) and can include trace/span IDs when a request is traced, so you can jump from logs to traces in Jaeger UI (e.g. http://localhost:16686 if you run the all-in-one container).

<div class="md">Hi everyone. I&#39;m a junior developer (2.5 YOE) working mostly solo for a small US-based startup, and I&#39;ve recently been running up against the issue of &quot;chains of events&quot; in Django, and would like to see how more experienced folks deal with it, and also learn whether it&#39;s a system design fault on my part or just one of the types of problems Django isn&#39;t best suited to handle. For context: the application integrates with several different external services; Stripe is the main one (it&#39;s a marketplace platform), and also other services for other types of payments, marketing, AWS services for notifications, geolocation data management, etc. We also support Organizations, with multiple users with different roles within them. When a user signs up, a bunch of things need to happen at the same time, including creating accounts on the various third-party services we use. I&#39;ve worked to keep most of the signup context data needed within regular Django models, for simplicity, but there are specific onboarding paths where I just cannot avoid having to create a Stripe Express account, _then_ a Service X account, _then_ an AWS SNS topic, etc. This creates a lengthy and brittle chain where if a single step fails, the user/organization ends up incorrectly configured, and is unable to use specific features of the platform. I also do not have much visibility into this process (poor observability configs on my part) and so I&#39;m often at a loss when something goes wrong. I&#39;m aware of atomic transactions, and while they help a lot, they do not make dealing with this chain concept easier. I&#39;m wondering how larger applications handle this.

<div class="md">I just shipped ArchUnitPython, a library that lets you enforce architectural rules in Python projects through automated tests. The problem it solves: as codebases grow, architecture erodes. Someone imports the database layer from the presentation layer, circular dependencies creep in, naming conventions drift. Code review catches some of it, but not all, and definitely not consistently. This problem has always existed but is more important than ever in Claude Code, Codex times. LLMs break architectural rules all the time. So I built a library where you define your architecture rules as tests. Two quick examples: ```python <h1>No circular dependencies in services</h1> rule = project_files(&quot;src/&quot;).in_folder(&quot;/services/&quot;).should().have_no_cycles() assert_passes(rule) ``` ```python <h1>Presentation layer must not depend on database layer</h1> rule = project_files(&quot;src/&quot;) .in_folder(&quot;/presentation/&quot;) .should_not() .depend_on_files() .in_folder(&quot;/database/&quot;) assert_passes(rule) ``` This will run in pytest, unittest, or whatever you use, and therefore be automatically in your CI/CD.

 Linters catch style issues. This catches structural violations — wrong dependency directions, layering breaches, naming convention drift. It's the difference between "this line looks wrong" and "this module shouldn't talk to that module."
 Some key features:
  
Dependency direction enforcement & circular dependency detection
 Naming convention checks (glob + regex)
 Code metrics: LCOM cohesion, abstractness, instability, distance from main sequence
 PlantUML diagram validation — ensure code matches your architecture diagrams
 Custom rules & metrics
 Zero runtime dependencies, uses only Python's ast module
 Python 3.10+

 Index those fields so you don't lose lookup performance.

It runs 3 mini-games at the same time (math, pattern memory, and a grid where you identify the dominant color). Each one has its own timer while also sharing a global timer, so you have to manage everything under time pressure.
 There’s also a simple ranking system and player profiles.

 So I wanted to ask:
  
Is Django still a good choice for entering the backend job market today?
 What types of companies usually hire Django developers?
 Should a beginner stick with Django or switch to something like Node.js?
  
Would appreciate real-world insights from developers working in the industry 🙏

Hey everyone,
 I’m a huge fan of FastAPI. The fact that it generates an OpenAPI spec out of the box is its true superpower. But I noticed that while we get amazing documentation (Swagger UI / ReDoc) for free, we still have to manually build the internal tools, dashboards, and admin panels to actually use the data easily.
 So I built the other half of the equation.
 UIGen - point it at your FastAPI /openapi.json URL, and get a fully interactive React frontend in seconds.
 npx @uigen-dev/cli serve http://127.0.0.1:8000/openapi.json
 # UI is live at http://localhost:4400
 How it fits the FastAPI ecosystem
 FastAPI is all about types and specs. UIGen follows that philosophy:
  
Pydantic Validation: Because your spec includes the constraints from your Pydantic models, UIGen automatically builds Zod validation on the frontend to match.
 Interactive, not just Docs: Swagger UI is for testing endpoints. UIGen is for managing resources. It handles the "ListView -> DetailView -> EditForm" flow as a cohesive app.
  
What it generates (from your FastAPI code)
  
Sidebar nav mapped to your API tags/resources.
 Smart Tables with sorting, pagination, and filtering (derived from your query params).
 Dynamic Forms derived from your Pydantic models.
 Detail Views with related resource links.
 Auth UI - handles Bearer tokens and credential injection via a built-in proxy.
 Wizards: Large models are automatically split into multi-step forms.
 Complex Actions: Non-CRUD endpoints show up as custom action buttons.
  
How it works
 It parses your /openapi.json into a custom Intermediate Representation (IR). A pre-built React SPA (shadcn/ui + TanStack) reads that IR and renders the UI. A Vite dev server serves the app and proxies API calls to your FastAPI backend, handling CORS headers so you don't have to fiddle with middleware during dev.
 Honest Limitations
  
Circular Models: If you have deeply nested recursive Pydantic models, resolution might skip the deepest levels.
 Edit View: Works best if you have a standard GET /{id} endpoint for your items.
 And many other edge cases.
  
Try it now
 If you have a FastAPI app running locally:
 npx @uigen-dev/cli serve http://localhost:8000/openapi.json
 Or try it on one of the example yaml files in the repo
  
GitHub: https://github.com/darula-hpp/uigen
 npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@uigen-dev/cli
  
Would love to hear thoughts from the FastApi community. Of course, this isn't meant to replace a custom consumer-facing frontend, but for internal tools, rapid prototyping, or providing a UI for your API consumers, it’s a massive time-saver.
 Happy coding!

Open-Source Full-Stack Template inspired by FastAPI Template and Netflix's Dispatch

The problem it solves: as codebases grow, architecture erodes. Someone imports the database layer from the presentation layer, circular dependencies creep in, naming conventions drift. Code review catches some of it, but not all, and definitely not consistently. This problem has always existed but is more important than ever in Claude Code, Codex times. LLMs break architectural rules all the time. So I built a library where you define your architecture rules as tests. Two quick examples: ```python <h1>No circular dependencies in services</h1> rule = project_files(&quot;src/&quot;).in_folder(&quot;/services/&quot;).should().have_no_cycles() assert_passes(rule) ``` ```python <h1>Presentation layer must not depend on database layer</h1> rule = project_files(&quot;src/&quot;) .in_folder(&quot;/presentation/&quot;) .should_not() .depend_on_files() .in_folder(&quot;/database/&quot;) assert_passes(rule) ``` This will run in pytest, unittest, or whatever you use, and therefore be automatically in your CI/CD. If a commit violates the architecture rules your team has decided, the CI will fail. Hint: this is exactly what the famous ArchUnit Java library does, just for Python - I took inspiration for the name is of course. Let me quickly address why this over linters or generic code analysis? Linters catch style issues. This catches structural violations — wrong dependency directions, layering breaches, naming convention drift. It&#39;s the difference between &quot;this line looks wrong&quot; and &quot;this module shouldn&#39;t talk to that module.&quot; Some key features: <ul> <li>Dependency direction enforcement &amp; circular dependency detection</li> <li>Naming convention checks (glob + regex)</li> <li>Code metrics: LCOM cohesion, abstractness, instability, distance from main sequence</li> <li>PlantUML diagram validation — ensure code matches your architecture diagrams</li> <li>Custom rules &amp; metrics</li> <li>Zero runtime dependencies, uses only Python&#39;s ast module</li> <li>Python 3.10+</li> </ul> Very curious what you think! <a href="https://github.com/LukasNiessen/ArchUnitPython">https://github.com/LukasNiessen/ArchUnitPython</a> </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/trolleid"> /u/trolleid </a> <a href="https://github.com/LukasNiessen/ArchUnitPython">[link]</a> &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/FastAPI/comments/1sn4qdw/i_built_archunit_for_python_enforce_architecture/">[comments]</a> </td></tr></table>

Hi everyone, I want to share with you both of my packages, which are mainly for improving FastAPI (and any ASGI-compatible library) when it comes to WebSocket handling.
 First, FastAPI's WebSocket handling is fairly simple with @app.websocket where you define the flow and run the loop (while True), but this can lead to some problems:
  
Harder to debug and separate code
 No way to broadcast messages. FastAPI's official guide uses a ConnectionManager as a simple class, but it is in-memory, fragile, and hard to scale
 FastAPI also mentions: "If you need something easy to integrate with FastAPI but that is more robust, supported by Redis, PostgreSQL or others, check encode/broadcaster." However, broadcaster is no longer maintained as "This repository was archived by the owner on Aug 19, 2025. It is now read-only." (unfortunate)
 No real way to send messages from another thread, a background job, or even an API endpoint without resorting to workarounds
  
Based on that, and with the knowledge I gained from Django Channels, I ported the Django Channels library to be fully FastAPI-compatible. The result is FastChannels, which solves exactly the problems above.
 On top of that, when working with WebSocket (in both Django and FastAPI), my team and I usually face these problems:
  
Manual if-else routing chains when receiving a WebSocket message
 Manual validation of the messages we receive
 Runtime type surprises
 No source of truth for documentation (almost never seen, even though we have the AsyncAPI standard now)
 Testing that is painfully hard
 Painful code reviews and onboarding, since we need to scroll and read a lot to understand what messages are accepted, what the implementation does, and what gets returned
 No logging utility or standard like structlog for request and response tracing
  
Due to those problems, I created ChanX as a library that improves the way we build WebSocket handling. Now, thanks to ChanX, we get:
  
No more endless if-else logic or 200-line functions that just route to the correct message handler. We simply define messages with the correct type, and thanks to Pydantic's type discriminator, they are automatically routed to the correct handler
 No more manual message validation, as Pydantic is the standard for defining both incoming and outgoing messages
 Type hints by default, with mypy and pyright support
 A testing framework included to make testing easier and more predictable
 And notably, auto-generated AsyncAPI documentation based on the code you define, similar to how FastAPI auto-generates OpenAPI docs from your code
 A CLI helper to generate code from AsyncAPI docs as well
  
So, here is how it looks
 https://preview.redd.it/3v9rtltg5svg1.png?width=1348&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1dfecbbd58ae7040a3e58f8a85aeb73378c1c08
 I built ChanX based on what I have done, faced, and wished I had for my last project. I am using it now and I love it. I built it with careful design and active maintenance, so I hope you find it useful and never have to face these problems again.
 Some use cases where these work well:
  
Realtime messaging (one-on-one or group chat with broadcasting and notifications)
 Realtime voice assistants (e.g. Deepgram, OpenAI) or chat assistants with streaming responses
 Any scenario that involves group messaging, broadcasting, or push notifications over WebSocket

Python Django API Doubt

<div class="md">Background to the question and the question itself So I think it&#39;s best if you have a look at this mp4 I recorded of what my site already does. This is just a public google drive link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cwvkN5prCDYBsRL4bjUfmotzdaQL74Ph/view?usp=sharing">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cwvkN5prCDYBsRL4bjUfmotzdaQL74Ph/view?usp=sharing</a> As you can see in the MP4, when I click a word, it makes the form pop up on the right. That word is then shown in that form for submission. My question is, how do I make it so you can ALSO cursor-highlight a section of the text to pass it to the forms? What I already tried That text is wrapped in this: <pre><code>&lt;div id=&quot;current_text&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 20px; margin-top: 50px&quot;&gt; {{ text_content |hoverable_words:text_id }} &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> Where text_content is the lorem ipsum text passed through a filter to make each highlightable/clickable. That is to say, CSS highlight, not text cursor highlighting. I had read that &#39;onselection&#39; is an event that triggers when you highlight stuff, so I made it an hx-trigger for the &quot;current_text&quot; div that contains the text. However, this just made that fire no matter what I did: clicked the div&#39;s background, clicked the words, whatever.

Background to the question and the question itself
 So I think it's best if you have a look at this mp4 I recorded of what my site already does. This is just a public google drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cwvkN5prCDYBsRL4bjUfmotzdaQL74Ph/view?usp=sharing
 As you can see in the MP4, when I click a word, it makes the form pop up on the right. That word is then shown in that form for submission. My question is, how do I make it so you can ALSO cursor-highlight a section of the text to pass it to the forms?
 What I already tried
 That text is wrapped in this:
 <div id="current_text" style="font-size: 20px; margin-top: 50px"> {{ text_content |hoverable_words:text_id }} </div> 
 Where text_content is the lorem ipsum text passed through a filter to make each highlightable/clickable. That is to say, CSS highlight, not text cursor highlighting. I had read that 'onselection' is an event that triggers when you highlight stuff, so I made it an hx-trigger for the "current_text" div that contains the text. However, this just made that fire no matter what I did: clicked the div's background, clicked the words, whatever. I suspect it was a problem with how the event might have been bubbling up, but I'm not sure.
 Anyways, I'll link and show what I got so far to make this happen.
 Disclaimers
 
Yes I know the code and UI is terrible. I'm very much a functionality-first programmer, to refactor and prettify later.
 I color my divs so I can see them, it helps me troubleshoot CSS stuff.
 The context doesn't really matter for this question but if you must know, it's an app to help with constructing languages.
 I was gonna ask this later in a separate post, but if someone wants to tell me how I can handle events in the page without iterating through every word of my text again, that would be great But since it works, it's fine for now. But hey I'll take refactoring advice early.
 
Link to Repo and Relevant Files
 https://github.com/MatthewRicci12/conlangwebapp/tree/main/conlangapp
 
views.py
 
The view that actually generates this is user_clicks_text(request, text_id)
 I am incredibly new to Django but have some React chops, so I might be a bit Reactbrained in how 90% of it is just seeing if I have certain 'state', but basically I'm just checking if a bunch of crap has happened. If a form has been selected and which one, if the form is already up, if a token was selected, etc. 
 
extract_text.html (what I've shown in the video)
 <div id="extract_text_master_container"> {% load hoverable_words %} <div id="current_text" style="font-size: 20px; margin-top: 50px"> {{ text_content |hoverable_words:text_id }} </div> .... {% if form_up %} {% include 'partials/current_form.html' with form_div_context=form_div_context only%} {% endif %}
 
 The text, the lorem ipsum, is simply passed through a filter so everything can be clickable/highlightable. That filter is below.
 
hoverable_words.py
 @register.filter def hoverable_words(text, text_id): words = re.split(r'(\s+)', text) # preserves whitespace result = '' for token in words: if token.strip(): url = reverse('user-clicks-text', args=[text_id]) result += f'{token}' else: result += token return mark_safe(result)
 
 This simply makes everything highlightable and makes the click submit some 'state' info which, again, I think might be a bit too Reactbrained. I know you CAN use React with Django but I'd rather just keep on using HTMX.
 
current_form.html
 
Not super relevant, but it's that blue-backgrounded div with the actual forms.
 EDIT: Markdown on reddit is hard, looking at the actual github files themselves is probably clearest.

Django on vercel

<div class="md">I just shipped ArchUnitPython, a library that lets you enforce architectural rules in Python projects through automated tests. The problem it solves: as codebases grow, architecture erodes. Someone imports the database layer from the presentation layer, circular dependencies creep in, naming conventions drift. Code review catches some of it, but not all, and definitely not consistently. This problem has always existed but is more important than ever in Claude Code, Codex times. LLMs break architectural rules all the time. So I built a library where you define your architecture rules as tests. Two quick examples: ```python <h1>No circular dependencies in services</h1> rule = project_files(&quot;src/&quot;).in_folder(&quot;/services/&quot;).should().have_no_cycles() assert_passes(rule) ``` ```python <h1>Presentation layer must not depend on database layer</h1> rule = project_files(&quot;src/&quot;) .in_folder(&quot;/presentation/&quot;) .should_not() .depend_on_files() .in_folder(&quot;/database/&quot;) assert_passes(rule) ``` This will run in pytest, unittest, or whatever you use, and therefore be automatically in your CI/CD. If a commit violates the architecture rules your team has decided, the CI will fail. Hint: this is exactly what the famous ArchUnit Java library does, just for Python - I took inspiration for the name is of course. Let me quickly address why this over linters or generic code analysis? Linters catch style issues. This catches structural violations — wrong dependency directions, layering breaches, naming convention drift. It&#39;s the difference between &quot;this line looks wrong&quot; and &quot;this module shouldn&#39;t talk to that module.&quot; Some key features: <ul> <li>Dependency direction enforcement &amp; circular dependency detection</li> <li>Naming convention checks (glob + regex)</li> <li>Code metrics: LCOM cohesion, abstractness, instability, distance from main sequence</li> <li>PlantUML diagram validation — ensure code matches your architecture diagrams</li> <li>Custom rules &amp; metrics</li> <li>Zero runtime dependencies, uses only Python&#39;s ast module</li> <li>Python 3.10+</li> </ul> Very curious what you think! <a href="https://github.com/LukasNiessen/ArchUnitPython">https://github.com/LukasNiessen/ArchUnitPython</a> </div> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/trolleid"> /u/trolleid </a> <a href="https://github.com/LukasNiessen/ArchUnitPython">[link]</a> &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/djangolearning/comments/1sn50vd/i_built_archunit_for_python_enforce_architecture/">[comments]</a>
