Trying a Spring Boot style project structure in Django
I've been working with Django for the last 3–4 years. One thing I’ve always struggled with is keeping things clean and modular as the project grows.
Django’s flexibility is great, but I’ve often found myself mixing business logic in views, duplicating structure across apps, and losing track of where certain responsibilities live. So I’ve been trying a new approach lately borrowing ideas from Spring Boot (Java), which I used briefly and really liked for its structure.
What I tried:
Created a /apps/ directory where each app is treated as a self-contained module
Split responsibilities into:
controllers/ → class-based views
services/ → business logic
dtos/ → Pydantic v2 for request/response validation
Added a few management commands to generate apps + CRUD automatically:
python manage.py generateapp blog
python manage.py generatecrud blog Post
The goal is to keep things clean and explicit, especially for larger projects or when working with a team.
Here is Repo Link 🔗
It’s not trying to be a full framework, just a structured way to get up and running faster with good practices baked in. Eventual goal is to teach Django in meaningful way
Would love your thoughts on:
Is this too much structure for Django?
Does separating logic this way actually help in the long run?
What would you improve if you

Created my first COPYWRITING TOOL software with the help of Flask
Hey everyone,
A project I've been working on for the past 7 months is the following: Geniusgate.ai V1
It's an AI-powered copywriting tool, and it's been something I've been working on for a while.
I'd figure it would be pretty cool to show everyone here as it's my first SaaS.
Honestly, as I've made it temporarily free for 7 days. If you do decide to try it out, please let me know what you do and do not like, as I am trying to get as much feedback as possible. I'll be making adjustments to the first version within a few months as I gather feedback.

We made this with the following:
React, Next.js, and Flask.
One of the biggest obstacles was that I had to differentiate it from regular GPT, as you may know, ChatGPT can do some form of copywriting. To overcome that problem, I had this tool run on GPT, but it was trained by countless professional copywriters with multiple successful high-converting copy input examples.
The other issue was that initially, we had the website designed with React, such as the landing page, and each blog post was manually added.

Heroku Procfile/Dynos Issue
Hello. Before anything else, I'd like to emphasize that I am very new and very ignorant to coding, so please don't be TOO hard on me.
I'm having a problem with my Procfile in connecting it to Heroku. When I try to run my app, I keep getting an error message saying that heroku can't read my Procfile.
The code that I currently have in my Procfile is web: gunicorn app:app - yes, gunicorn is installed, yes it's in the requirements and no it's not saved a a .txt.
the error code that I keep getting is heroku ps:scale web=1
» Warning: heroku update available from 8.7.1 to 10.4.0.
Scaling dynos... !
! Couldn't find that process type (web).
The contents of my-app-folder is
app,py - generate_report.py - requirements.txt - .gitignore - .env
there is also a venv folder, static, src, data and reports folder saved within the root directory.
ChatGPT isn't being very helpful so I'm coming to the humans instead. I promise I'm not stupid (I never studied coding and I know nothing). I appreciate your help, patience and kindness in advance.

docdog: open source generating docs using claude
Hi everyone, gonna just go straight to the point.
What my project does: Creates docs for you by chunking then summarising it. Remember to set up your own api key and put it in a .env file.
Target audience: anyone
Why did I do it? sometimes i write all my code and then i forget what i was writing a day ago. and then i have to relook at my codebase all over again ..
Comparison: claude itself?
How to use Docdog: Just run pip install docdog then run docdog
Future enhancements: May add new features like more models etc.
Note: This is NOT a tool to replace writing docs. Ultimately you should still write your own docs but this will help you to save some time.
Link: https://github.com/duriantaco/docdog
For any bug or feature please raise an issue in my github page. Please leave a star if you found it useful. If you didn't find it useful, having a bad day, had a breakup or whatever, you can use this post as a punching bag. Thats all. Thanks

PEP 751 (a standardized lockfile for Python) is accepted!
https://peps.python.org/pep-0751/
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-751-one-last-time/77293/150
After multiple years of work (and many hundreds of posts on the Python discuss forum), the proposal to add a standard for a lockfile format has been accepted!
Maintainers for pretty much all of the packaging workflow tools were involved in the discussions and as far as I can tell, they are all planning on adding support for the format as either their primary format (replacing things like poetry.lock or uv.lock) or at least as a supported export format.
This should allow a much nicer deployment experience than relying on a variety of requirements.txt files.

Real-Time Speech-to-Speech Chatbot: Whisper, Llama 3.1, Kokoro, and Silero VAD
Hi everyone, Please have a look at the Cascading S2S Vocal-Agent, a real-time speech-to-speech chatbot that integrates Whisper for speech recognition, Silero VAD for voice activity detection, Llama 3.1 for reasoning, and Kokoro ONNX for natural voice synthesis.
🔗 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/tarun7r/Vocal-Agent
# 🚀 What My Project Does
Vocal-Agent enables seamless real-time spoken conversations with an AI assistant. It processes speech input with low latency, understands queries using LLMs, and generates human-like speech in response. The system also supports web integration (Google Search, Wikipedia, Arxiv) and is extensible through an agent framework.
# 🎯 Target Audience
AI researchers & developers: Experiment with real-time S2S AI interactions.
Voice-based AI enthusiasts: Build and extend a natural voice-based chatbot.
Accessibility-focused applications: Enhance spoken communication tools.
Open-source contributors: Collaborate on an evolving project.
# 🔍 How It Differs from Existing Alternatives
Unlike existing voice assistants, Vocal-Agent offers:
✅ Fully open-source implementation with an extensible framework.
✅ LLM-powered reasoning (Llama 3.1 8B) via Agno instead of rule-based responses.
✅ ONNX-optimized TTS for efficient voice synthesis.
✅ Low-latency pipeline for real-time interactivity.
✅ Web search capabilities integrated into the agent system.
# ✨ Key Features
🎙 Speech Recognition: Whisper (large-v1) + Silero VAD

UPDATE safe-result 4.0: Better memory usage, chain operations, 100% test coverage
Hi Peeps,
The previous version introduced pattern matching and type guards.
## Target Audience
Anybody.
## Comparison
This new version takes everything one step further by reducing the Result class to a simple union type and employing __slots__ for reduced memory usage.
The automatic traceback capture has also been decoupled from Err and now works as a separate utility function.
Methods for transforming and chaining results were also added: map, map_async, and_then, and_then_async, and flatten.
I only ported from Rust's Result what I thought would make sense in the context of Python. Also, one of the main goals of this library has always been to be as lightweight as possible, while still providing all the necessary features to work safely and elegantly with errors.
As always, you can check the examples on the project's page.
Thank you again for your support and continuous feedback.

I built an open-source AI-powered library for web testing
Hey r/Python,
My name is Alex Rodionov and I'm a tech lead and Ruby (and a bit of Python) maintainer of the Selenium project. For the last few months, I’ve been working on Alumnium.
What My Project Does
It's an open-source Python library that automates testing for web applications by leveraging Selenium or Playwright, AI, and natural language commands.
Target Audience
Test automation engineers or anyone writing tests for web applications. It’s an early-stage project, not ready for production use in complex web applications.
Comparison
The closest project I am aware of is LaVague-QA, but it's a test generator (i.e. it generates Selenium+pytest tests from Gherkin specification), while Alumnium is just a library you can use in tests. It uses AI during test execution runtime to figure out Selenium interactions based on what's present in the browser.

Static site to Django templates
So I am trying to learn more templating by turning a static site into a Django site with generic views. Is this a good approach or should I start from scratch? I am doing it because I am trying to learn about templating and though it would be cool to see how easy it would be to turn this static site into something I can use Django models and DB with.

Django e-commerce hosting
Hi all!
Context:
I created my first e-commerce with Django, right now I am hosting it with render ( free tier) and the project uses SQLite. The problem right now is that the free tier does not hold the project on all the time, after 10-15 minutes of inactivity it goes idle and takes around 1 minute to become active again, when it becomes active again all the new products that were added through admin panel (while the website was live ) disappear , as they were never there and I understand the reason.
Questions : if I upgrade to the standard tier ( the one that cost 7-9euro /month ) would that solve the problem with the new added products?( as the app won’t have downtime)
Do I have to purchase from render the postgreSQL as well? ( but then it becomes a bit costly with the standard version as well ( total of 14 euro or something like this)
Extra: I am using Cloudinary for the images uploaded via admin panel.
Or if someone knows better cost-eficient option for hosting or some workarounds that may work I would very much appreciate!
Thank you!

Speeding up api request.
Hi everyone.
For the last 8 months or so (lost track abit!) I’ve been building a meal planning platform, but what I haven’t been able to speed up is the response of my backends api
The stack is nuxt3, drf, Postgres, nginx in a docker compose digitaloceon droplet. I have tampered with putting the highest of specs on the droplet and it doesn’t have any notable effects
The part I’m struggling with is when you browse recipes, they take ages (2-4seconds). I’m loading 12 a time, with a fair bit of information being sent but limited as much as I can. It’s only sending thumbnail size images condensed. I have redis but as each request is quite unique I’m unsure how to use it here.
If anyone’s experienced this it would be fantastic to hear your experiences!

Really hope this doesn’t come across as shilling

Wi-Fi Controlled Robot Using Python
* **What My Project Does**
I've built a robot that can be controlled via Wifi and has a camera feed so you can see where you are going. The big idea is to have this autominusly controlled by a computer that can use computer vision to analyse the camera feed, so that it can retrieve the trash cans.
This fist iteration is just to get it controlled over WiFi. The robot has Raspberry Pi Zero on it which handles the camera feed and exposes it via a web server and a Raspberry Pi Pico which has a webserver and can contol the servo motors. There is a basic API on the Pico to allow for commands to be sent to it.
I have another Pi with a Python simple server which displays a page which combines the camera feed and the controls of the robot.
I realise I could have done this all on one Pi!
