Building a SaaS app using Django
If you are developing live in app notification, live chat etc, you should consider using websockets. In Django, Django Channels is used for implementing WebSockets, allowing you to handle real-time communications within your application.

WebSockets or MQTT. If you’re open to Python and Django as a framework, check out Django Channels.

Django PWA's - have you built an app with it...or why not....
Creating a PWA is not like playing a card that wins the game. Moreover, users do not yet know the potential or do not know that they can be installed so they have a bit of a hard time catching on. At the moment I use Django + HTMX + AlpineJS to build my applications. This stack allows you to use WebSockets, but HTMX is not yet very mature in this respect. If you aim to create something complex on the user experience side, I have used the Django (+ Django rest framework) + React stack for years. It's good but it takes time both for creating things and to master it. Maybe you want to check out Django Channels too https://github.com/django/channels

Sending events or notifications from Django
Use Django channels package. I'm not very convinced for these reasons:
-
Sending data to django channels groups via django views
github issue
- Show HN: WAPM – WebAssembly Package Manager

Recommendations for a clean Github repository to use as an example for a new Python project
One program I sorta like is channels. You may have some luck searching for python example repositories (IIRC there is at least one project like this, with the structure and explaining what each stuff does, give preference to more recent projects as packaging is something that went through a lot of changes in the recent years).
