💡Photon Designer + New suggestions technique (Django, HTMX, Llama 3)
Joke: What did the Django URL say to the view?
(Answer below) ⬇️
Latest Django content to boost you
I predict that this new technique (dynamically suggesting actions in real-time to the user) will become very common. I show you how to do it using a fast and warm LLM (Llama 3), HTMX, plus Photon Designer for styling.
Next up for you
My next planned content pieces for you are:
How to use Alpine Ajax (an interesting alternative to HTMX)
Use Postgres as a simple task queue for Django 🐘 (Video in edit)
The simplest way to add polling to Django with HTMX 🗳️
Photon Designer alpha + progress 🚢
I released a big update today to the streaming mechanism. Photon Designer is now:
Faster! The streaming is now 2-3x as fast
Much smoother! No more flashing; smoother streaming
Better output! Improved prompts and post-processing
🚀 Here’s a video showing you the updated app: it’s fast! → The video is in real-time (No editing tricks)
Photon Designer after upgrade - Watch Video

P.S I’m writing this message to you at night sitting on a bucket in the road 🙂 Photo proof below:

P.P.S There are 30 of us now on the new Photon Designer alpha testers Discord. I’m posting everything there 🌈
