I built https://PlotPanel.com https://PlotPanel.com with Django, htmx, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS. I was new to all 4 of those technologies and learnt whilst on the project, it was a great experience. It was my first time using the Stripe API too, which has the nicest documentation I've ever seen!
- number6 5y agoWow that looks amazing! Is it all tailwind CSS? How do you work with components e.g. buttons in django + tailwind? Do you {% include %} them or are all of them uniquely designed?
- batterylow 5y agoIt's indeed all Tailwind CSS! This was my first Django project and I started with Django 4. It has form templates that I've overridden to use Tailwind elements. This was quite tricky and meant learning more about Django than I'd expected!
- ricopags 5y agoWent to sign up to tire-kick but no free tier. It isn't evident what data sources the plotpanel site works with.
- batterylow 5y agoThere’s a link just above the tiers “or start your free trial”!
- weakSignal 5y agoYou did impressive work mate.
- batterylow 5y agoThank you - that's very kind of you!
- batterylow 5y agoIf you ever return to this comment, I've just noticed your account was fresh and your username is a nice fit with mine!
- reducesuffering 5y agoLooks very nice. How long did this take you? What's your deployment stack: Heroku, DigitalOcean, AWS, containers, CI?
- batterylow 5y agoI left my job in August last year and set a target to complete a project every month of 2022! PlotPanel.com was my February project, I launched it around the 25th (so around 24 days). It's deployed using containers and a VPS!
- reducesuffering 5y agoThat's even more impressive, cheers! How did you deploy the containers on the VPS, Dokku?
- batterylow 5y agoI manage most my work with shell scripts and docker compose!
- abledon 5y agothats insanely productive, amazing job. surely you had the aid of a few coffees right!? :grin:
- batterylow 5y agoYou could say that!
- selcuka 5y agoCongratulations. Is there a list of other projects you have completed so far?
- batterylow 5y agoThank you! There isn't yet, but I'm going to find some time to write perhaps a post per-project on https://polyra.com https://polyra.com. I'm not sure it will get any reach!
