djello

This is a try to create a trello clone by using Django, django_components, htmx and hyperscript.

Goal

• Main focus at the moment is: Use django_components to render the whole content on the first request without the use of any Javascript (SEO) and to be able to refresh those components (easily) later without a whole page reload.

• To prove that one can create a rich user interface without a complex javascript framework for the frontend and all the negative consequences it has, e.g. a REST API and its security/permission impacts.

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Create and activate a virtual environment
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python manage.py migrate
5. python manage.py runserver
