   I think this primarily comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of where the value in streaming services lies from the perspective of old world media giants. The majority of people who buy streaming, I suspect, are interested mainly in

   Agreed. I’ve had to create dedicated SPAs for several projects recently which is a huge shame. I’d be interested to understand the architectural goals of the Django project moving ahead to see if they’re even interested in solving for this

   Thanks for the reply. Agreed on the templating side of things - it certainly makes building sophisticated UXs harder. Great point around project structure and ability to move between codebases - I think the lack of enforced structure in Dja

   Fantastic work. The on-boarding is excellent and first use is very intuitive. You've done a great job of abstracting away the complexity of defining the data models so that I was able to build and deploy an example in just a few minute

    This is the typical "we didn't spend any time thinking about our architecture therefore we're going to blame our framework" article. React is a great choice for certain use-cases, but when low-quality developers are allo
