Awesome!

How hard is it to add other apps to the interface?

Great idea. It would be nice if there were links to read about the projects with which you're not familiar (I don't know the details of django-annoying, for instance).

jamespacileo6• 15 years ago

django-annoying is a great app, but you are perfectly right links are necessary also because if I eventually add more apps it will be very likely people won't know what they are.

Thanks a lot for sharing my work here, it was a pleasant surprise to see that people care about it.

It really makes me want to improve it more! :) I will try to publish the new TODO list tomorrow!

It would be pretty neat if Django Canvas could either pull data from or work with Django Packages http://djangopackages.com/

jamespacileo6• 15 years ago

Yup that is neat advice :)

I have already looked at the API and asked pydanny when the needed features are due to be released.

jamespacileo6• 15 years ago

wow... I'm really happy and excited this is here! :)

I'm the guy that built djangocanvas, I'm can't wait to make this open-source soon and find out how this project will evolve. :)

Pretty cool idea. I totally welcome more competition with djangopackages. The problem with things like PyPi is the lack of anyone willing to step up with a better product and force improvement in the community.

The one thing that's confusing is that it seems to list packages, but wants to help you build a package. Why not combine both worlds?

To me pasting few lines in INSTALL_APP, running pip install few times to start a project is not a big deal. It's writing code to wire up user login, user profile, change password, verify email that wasting the time. I said 'wire up' because most of the functionalities already exists either in django itself or some 3rd party app but still you need to write some code to glue all that together.

That's why I'm more keen on app that I can add to INSTALLED_APP, add one line to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS (because it provide few useful template context and I have a complete environment to start development. It already provide login and nice base template that I can extend. In short, an admin like app but not for admin.
