  1. PlanetTerp

    a community for students at the university of maryland

    Nothing major but here’s a project I’m working on. It’s a professor/course review site for the University of Maryland in College Park where students leave reviews for the courses they take. We also get grade data from the school each semester and do all sorts of cool things with it to help students make informed decisions about which classes to take!

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. Installation

    The premier source of truth powering network automation. Open source under Apache 2. Try NetBox Cloud free: https://netboxlabs.com/free-netbox-cloud/

    Netbox is a really good project that I’ve learned a lot from. The developer is active in the community and it’s fairly widely used across the networking industry.

  4. website

    Lutris.net website (by lutris)

    lutris gaming website.

  5. django-DefectDojo

    DevSecOps, ASPM, Vulnerability Management. All on one platform.

    DefectDojo is a DevSecOps and vulnerability management tool used by many organisations. I learned a lot from this project.

  6. Sentry

    Developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring

    When I was looking around I compared a good few of the most popular DRF projects online and found Sentry to have the most (imo) sensible and consistent styling. It follows the recommended fat models/skinny views convention. It also has lots of regular Django code in there too if that helps.

  7. Baserow

    Open source no-code database and Airtable alternative. Create your own online database without technical experience. Performant with high volumes of data, can be self hosted and supports plugins (by bramw)

    Baserow

  8. Django-4-by-example

    Django 4 by example, published by Packt
