Today I'd like to experiment with some nice interfaces for tagging and showing tagged bookmarks. But it feels too clunky to log into the django admin then navigate back, so first I want to get Django authentication set up. I suspect that if this turns into something I want to share with others, I'll eventually wind up with allauth, but that feels...

In order to further iterate on Fischer, I'm going to need to be able to test with a reasonably large pile of bookmarks. That's going to get tedious quickly if I can't import and export them as I experiment. In the past, the shortest path to doing this has been using django-import-export and either a script or django admin integration. I'd prefer...

In Part 1, I learned how to do views and routes in nanodjango, got some basic templates set up, and vendored Pico CSS to make those pages look a little nicer. Tagging is going to be an important part of making this all work the way I want, and the easiest way to solve that is with django-taggit. I'm tackling this next so I can learn whether...

I know there are a few new practices that I should adopt as I start new projects, but part of the purpose of this one is trying out nanodjango. So I’m keeping my other stuff the same, including pyenv, black, and poetry usage, for now in order to save my “innovation tokens.” Some Quick Ceremony to Make a Comfortable Environment cd fischer git init...
