Re:Widgy: Open Source Python/Django CMS Framework on Monday May 12, 2014 @11:08PM (#7736428)
I'm a serious Drupal expert, but Python was my first love, I know Django and I'm all for a usurper that can do it.

That being said, with an arrogant shitty attitude like this page shows, it will never actually get there.

The most important facet of a CMS's success (or most software) isn't clean dependency injection and scaffolding, it is a strong community and humility.

Amazing post. I have a pitch for a startup: It's an NGO which regulates email-marketing. To receive a certification of fair practices you have to abide by certain rules.

Users can see a badge indicating that you are a member or not. Eventually gmail and others will have to add a setting on whether to allow emails from non-members or not and until then, browser extensions will do the work.

Like?

DAMN! This has been my million dollar idea I'll build one day for 2 years. Oh well, at least someone else did a good job of it.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. I even wireframed the same interaction. Frustrated but happy. At least someone did it.

How long did it take you guys to put this together? It's quite slick. I hadn't though of using a java applet to record stuff. That locks in the IP and helps with some things, but I was imagining more of a browser extension approach.
