Mezzanine takes that exact approach where pages are of specific types, and has consistently rejected calls to add arbitrary block features (although you can do that with add-ons). Surprised you haven't looked at it - it's the most

A slap in the face to Australian users who've been waiting patiently for half a year to use USD and still can't.

Thanks - we originally looked at them but they didn't have recurring payment support at the time. Since then they "acquired" an entirely separate recurring payments company (I don't recall the name), and it was all just

Have a look at kouio, the app itself uses the public rest API, so it's been available since day one: https://kouio.com/api-docs/

Real nice :-) I've just released a project that achieves similar results via a slightly different path. I've called it Hot Redis: https://github.com/stephenmcd/hot-redis It basically deliver local Python type

Also drawn from kouio, a nice little library I've called Hot Redis. We use it for working with local Python objects like lists, sets, queues and multisets, which are then backed by Redis. https://github.com/stephenmcd&#

https://kouio.com - RSS reader we built to replace Google Reader. It's cool because it's been an amazing ride keeping it nice and snappy in spite of an ever growing data set - over 50 million feed items retrieved so fa

Completely outrageous for a CMS built with Django.

by stephen_mcd 13y ago
Title is really poorly worded and could use an edit - Django CMS is the other popular CMS project based on Django. Article is for Mezzanine, an entirely separate project. Really confusing! Edit: title has been updated :-)

How do you think the authenticated session is maintained?

Also worth mentioning, with kouio, paying customers will never be competing with freeloaders for resources :-)

Yep, the API powering the UI actually supports it already, we just need to expose it in the UI. We're madly blasting through missing features, so stay tuned :-)

Please give kouio a try! https://kouio.com We were avid users of Google Reader, and have strived to remain faithful to its functionality in building kouio, like the Old Reader did. We've also understood that in order for a
