  • tetra

    Tetra - A full stack component framework for Django using Alpine.js (by samwillis)

  • Unicorn is awesome, and I think most would agree that it's the Django communities answer to Livewire/Liveview/etc. Adam has built a brilliant project and the time he must dedicate to it is amazing!

    Last year I had a month free and I had a go at building something for Django in this area, with a bunch of interesting ideas - built on Alpine.js, resumable server side component state, inline component templates. But sadly time is limited and I just can't spend the time needed to push it further. One day I may be able to pivot back to it: https://www.tetraframework.com/

  • djangocon-eu-2021-conference-talk

    Code, slides, scripts and other notes for my DjangoCon EU 2021 talk.

  • I'm the creator of Unicorn, so this is neat to see it on Hacker News again. I've been working on Unicorn nights and weekends since July 2020, slowly adding in new functionality and improving it. I have a conference talk explaining the origins a little bit: https://github.com/adamghill/djangocon-eu-2021-conference-ta....

    I never expected Unicorn to completely replace larger SPA frameworks, but I have found it solves for most of the use cases I need for my sites.

    Thanks for checking it out -- all PRs are greatly appreciated to add new features or fix bugs!
