Falco, in contrast to cookiecutter-django, aims to enhance the Django developer experience beyond project generation. It provides a CRUD generator and guides on various Django topics such as task queues, multitendency, deployment, realtime, etc.

It's not a tutorial but it's a resource to generate a Python+Django project with celery and Dockerfiles and other things you mentioned : https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django

There are very useful packages for bootstrapping your Django projects in minutes such as django-cookiecutter and djangox. If you are a seasoned developer I'd highly recommend using one of these instead of what I'm going to show here. But if you are struggling with the project structure of these packages as a beginner to intermediate Django developer and looking to structure your own Django projects in a better way, I have created a lightweight setup that deals with the basics of setting up a Django project with PostgreSQL as database and TailwindCSS as our styling library.

And so, the idea for cookiecutter-django-lite came into existence. I am an absolute fan of https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django - but for a lot of use cases this template is an overkill so I thought a barebones version of this will be superuseful - and that's how the idea of cookiecutter-django-lite was born.

Consider taking a look at cookiecutter to generate projects from templates. There is also cookiecutter-django. As for your environment variables you should have an example .env file containing all the environment variables required by your project (without setting them) that can be safely pushed into your repository for you and other developers to copy into the actual .env file that'll be used by your project (add this file to .gitignore)

I'm obviously biased, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I also probably know more about this space than ~anyone else. I'd say that your characterization is pretty accurate. There are many similar products to Pegasus (you can find a pretty comprehensive list here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates) but most of them are either more focused on infrastructure/setup (e.g. cookiecutter-django or - as you noted - far less mature/maintained (most of the others on that list).

I followed a lot of the guidance found in this "template" here: https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django

If you understand all that and just want to get started as quickly as possible, use a project generator such as cookiecutter-django or API Bakery. Note that I'd avoid using these until you have a solid grasp of Django otherwise you'll have no idea what's going on.

Boilerplate is not in opposition to productivity. Especially when it’s all written for you, as it is in Django, Rails, etc. You can start with something like Cookiecutter Django.

import { unstable_noStore as noStore } from "next/cache"; import Link from "next/link"; import { CreatePost } from "~/app/_components/create-post"; import { getServerAuthSession } from "~/server/auth"; import { api } from "~/trpc/server"; export default async function Home() { noStore(); const hello = await api.post.hello.query({ text: "from tRPC" }); const session = await getServerAuthSession(); return (

I thought he was making stuff up - "t3 stack vs t4 stack". But about 2 minutes in, I realized that I'd heard of a few things that he's talking about so I looked it up and they're real!

I think it's possible everything he's saying is true, more or less. LOL

t3: https://create.t3.gg

t4: https://t4stack.com

We start with a project that was bootstrapped with create-t3-app. For internationalization we use next-intl and set it up as described in the getting started guide. With this initial project setup we can jump into implementing localized error messages.

I used create-t3-app to scaffold the Next.js app, with TypeScript, Prisma, and "app router" enabled in the options. You can also use create-next-app for the job and install Prisma manually.

I agree that the quantity of publicly available code isn't the most reliable indicator of someone's seniority.

My issue with this individual arises from the discrepancy between his public claims of significant expertise in the content he produces. He positions himself as a highly experienced developer, attracting a large following of junior developers who take his advice at face value.

I am trying to collect data points supporting his claims of seniority. For instance, his website prominently features a statement that he is the creator of the T3 Stack. However, a review of the contributor statistics for the T3 Stack (https://github.com/t3-oss/create-t3-app/graphs/contributors)... minimal contributions from him, which raises questions about the validity of his claims.

I would recommend - https://create.t3.gg/

It uses the following, which as of late are pretty well know and common, so you can punch in your problems to stackoverflow, google, or chatgpt and get some pretty good answers.

It uses:

Nextjs (React), typescript, trpc (typescript rpc), auth, tailwind, and Prisma (ORM)

Though of course these could go out of fashion tomorrow, but I don't think the essential idea behind these libs and frameworks are that wacky, unique or unordinary.

Prisma ORM, is a little opinionated, and you could swap it out for Drizzle, which is basically typescript side sugared SQL.

TRPC might be also be a little sticky because it is tied to typescript, this is the tradeoff for the buttery smooth coupling for the fullstack experience. I think there exists a typed-rest solution out there, but haven't used it.

Personal anecdata, I used this stack for a little hobby project and it was FUN.

Open SaaS was built with Typescript, and because it’s a full-stack app, type safety from the back-end to the front-end can be a real lifesaver. I mean, some opinionated stacks have gotten hugely popular on this basis.

Let's start by creating a Next.js application. We will use the T3 stack (TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Prisma ORM) for this tutorial to skip installing and configuring all the dependencies which is out of the scope of this article. You can find more information about the T3 stack.

You still would need to add Stripe but there are so many examples publicly available that it should be straight forward
