💡Photon Designer + Chalice for simple serverless python + Easier Django data import and export

Joke: Why do Django databases dislike going to the doctor?

Because they are afraid of injections 🎉

Latest Django content

Here's my latest Django content to boost you:

• Add a serverless python function (Using AWS Chalice) 🍷 

  • (Now with added video guide)

• Add (and export) data from your Django database with YAML (3 mins) 🧮

  • Many of you probably know how to add initial data into a Django database. (It's easy). But I recommend using YAML for even greater readability and easy editing.

Next up

My next planned content pieces for you are:

• 7 ways to use Django's new GeneratedField ⚡️

• The pure approach - How to create a Postgres task queue with Django for easy background tasks 🐘

• When to use an explicit many-to-many connection (using an example from Photon Designer)

Photon Designer progress and general progress

This week, I've been fixing bugs, improving the UX to speed progress, and preparing more alpha invites to send to you.

It's nice to feel the UX improving. But I want to find out what are the actually useful features to build. This means sending out more alpha invites to you 🙂✉️

I’ve also switched from MailerLite to Beehiiv with this email (MailerLite’s low-quality editor consumed a lot of my time). Hopefully this email looks good to you 🌻 

I've also added new responsive templates to Photon Designer for starting projects. Here's a pic:

P.S Here's a photo of me enjoying 2 pints (1.14L) of Lemonade at the largest Wetherspoons (pub) in Ramsgate, UK 🍺 yesterday:

P.P.S If you haven't already, would you reply to this email with a one-liner saying hi and where you're from? This gives me the opportunity to say hello personally 🙂 I will respond to every message ✍️

I really enjoyed speaking to Lawrence 🇺🇸, Klaus 🇦🇺, Andy 🇬🇧, Marcel 🇳🇱, Zach 🇺🇸, Arno 🇳🇱, and Justice 🇺🇸 this last week
