[P] Docext: Open-Source, On-Prem Document Intelligence Powered by Vision-Language Models
We’re excited to open source `docext`, a zero-OCR, on-premises tool for extracting structured data from documents like invoices, passports, and more — no cloud, no external APIs, no OCR engines required.
Powered entirely by **vision-language models (VLMs)**, `docext` understands documents visually and semantically to extract both field data and tables — directly from document images.
**Run it fully on-prem** for complete data privacy and control.
**Key Features:**
* Custom & pre-built extraction templates
* Table + field data extraction
* Gradio-powered web interface
* On-prem deployment with REST API
* Multi-page document support
* Confidence scores for extracted fields
Whether you're processing invoices, ID documents, or any form-heavy paperwork, `docext` helps you turn them into usable data in minutes.
Try it out:
* `pip install docext` or launch via Docker
* Spin up the web UI with `python -m` [`docext.app.app`](https://github.com/nanonets/docext)
* Dive into the [Colab demo](https://github.com/nanonets/docext#colab-notebook)

How should model relationships be set?
I am having trouble deciding between two methods of creating my models for my Django app, this is an app where users can create, track, and manage workouts. The problem Is I'm not sure whether to extend the user model, and have each user have a workouts field, or if I should add an "owners" field to the workouts model, and manage the user's workouts that way. What would be considered best practice? What are the Pros and cons of each approach?
first approach:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
workouts = models.ManyToManyField(workouts.Workout, blank=True)
second approach:
class Workout(models.Model):
# rest of fields
owners = models.ManyToManyField(User)

What type database replication is better for django?
"What type of database replication strategy do you recommend for a Django application running in a multi-AZ AWS environment? I'm considering options like Master-Slave replication, Read-Write splitting, or AWS Aurora Multi-AZ. Which one offers the best scalability, high availability, and ease of maintenance for handling both read-heavy and write-heavy workloads?"

If you work on freelance platforms like UpWork how should we show it in our Resume/CV?
If you have done like 15+ full projects for someone on UpWork how would you show that in your Resume to apply on regular 9-5 full time jobs?
Would you list everything you did with company name and duration of project or just make a big list of things you did and put it under UpWork Experience Heading?
In Accounting role there was a person showing how a Resume should be structured and he showcased his work by clients like he just picked any 10 clients he worked with in his firm and create an heading for each one of them then in the heading he listed the work he did for the client like Bookkeeping, Financial Statements, Financial Statement Analysis, Tax Returns Filing etc.
So are we supposed to do the same in freelance field as well?

Your experiences with asyncio, trio, and AnyIO in production?
I'm using asyncio with lots of create_task and queues. However, I'm becoming more and more frustrated with it. The main problem is that asyncio turns exceptions into deadlocks. When a coroutine errors out, it stops executing immediately but only propagates the exception once it's been awaited. Since the failed coroutine is no longer putting things into queues or taking them out, other coroutines lock up too. If you await one of these other coroutines first, your program will stop indefinitely with no indication of what went wrong. Of course, it's possible to ensure that exceptions propagate correctly in every scenario, but that requires a level of delicate bookkeeping that reminds me of manual memory management and long-range gotos.
I'm looking for alternatives, and the recent structured concurrency movement caught my interest. It turns out that it's even supported by the standard library since Python 3.11, via asyncio.TaskGroup. However, this StackOverflow answer as well as this newer one suggest that the standard library's structured concurrency differs from trio's and AnyIO's in a subtle but important way: cancellation is edge-triggered in the standard library, but level-triggered in trio and AnyIO. Looking into the topic some more, there's a blog post on vorpus.org that

Solved Django Imports not working
I've been working with Django for the past three years, and I recently discovered the reason why VS Code sometimes shows yellow warnings saying that packages like Django aren't imported—even though all the necessary packages are already installed.
This usually happens when your code editor is using a different Python version than the one your project is set up with. If you're using a virtual environment, make sure to select the correct Python interpreter associated with that environment. Once you do that, the issue should be resolved.

Can someone recommend django opensource user management and payment packages?
Hi, all,
I am learning django and want to use django as the framework to develop a web application, the application allows user to sign up, take a trial with a credit card and then after certain days(for example 7 days), start a monthly membership. subcribers can upload their files and my app(another seperator server) will process the files and return the results to the subcribers.
I am looking for the following packages, prefer to be opensource, so I can change and integrate them:
1. user management -- allow sign up with email, with credit card, membership management, subscriber can cancel the subcription, login and logout, forget password.
2. payment package, monthly auto charges the membership.
These two features are common packages, please recommend available opensource package, so there is no need to build it from scratch.
Thank you very much!

How should I price a simple Django web app project for a small business client?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to freelancing and looking to start building web apps with Django, but I have no idea how to charge clients for projects like this.
I recently got a client — a small business in the USA making between $5–10 million per year (20 employees). They have no in-house IT staff and want to hire me to develop a web-based upload service for their customers. I would also be responsible for ongoing administration for that Django app.
I’m unsure how to price this kind of project.
Here are the core requirements they mentioned:
* Users should be able to create accounts and log in
* They should be able to upload files, view/download/delete them
* Each user is limited to 10 files and 1GB of total storage
* The state of the file can be tracked by the user and edited by the admin ("in progress", "open state" or "closed").
* There needs to be a custom and simple admin dashboard (not Django admin) for managing users and files (view users, download/delete their files, delete users)
I’ve asked around, and opinions on pricing vary wildly. Some say I should charge $30k (which feels way too high to me), while others suggest $4k (which seems too

Memo - Manage your Apple Notes and Reminders from the terminal
Hello everyone!
This is my first serious project, so please be kind 😄
The project is still in beta, and currently only supports Apple Notes — Apple Reminders integration is coming later. There’s still a lot of work ahead, but I wanted to share the first beta to get some feedback and test it out in the wild.
You can find the project here: https://github.com/antoniorodr/memo
I’d be more than grateful for any feedback, suggestions, or contributions. Thank you so much!
What My Project Does?
memo is a simple command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing your Apple Notes (and eventually Apple Reminders). It’s written in Python and aims to offer a fast, keyboard-driven way to create, search, and organize notes straight from your terminal.
Target Audience
Everyone who works primarily from the terminal and doesn’t want to switch to GUI apps just to jot down a quick note, organize thoughts, or check their Apple Notes. If you love the keyboard, minimalism, and staying in the flow — this tool is for you.
How It’s Different?
Unlike other note-taking tools or wrappers around Apple Notes, memo is built specifically for terminal-first users who want tight, native integration with macOS without relying on sync services or third-party platforms. It uses Python to directly access the native Notes database on your

I used to have a friend. Then we talked about Django. Also I made a Django + HTMX Tutorial Series for Beginners and Nonbelievers
So like the title says, she insisted Django was just a backend framework and definitely not a fullstack framework. I disagreed. Strongly.
Because with Django + HTMX, you can absolutely build full dynamic websites without touching React or Vue. Add some CSS or a UI lib, and boom: a powerful site with a database, Django admin, and all the features you want.
She refused to believe me. We needed an arbitrator. I suggested ChatGPT because I really thought it would prove that I was right.
It did not.
ChatGPT said “Django is a backend framework.”
I got so mad!
I showed my friend websites I had built entirely with Django. She inspected them then said "Yeah these are like so nice, but like I totally bet they were hell to build..." Then she called me a masochistic psychopath!
I got even more mad.
I canceled all my plans, sacrificed more sleep than I would ever admit to my therapist, and started working on a coding series; determined to show my former friend, the world, and ChatGPT that Django, with just a touch of HTMX, is an overpowered, undefeated framework. Perhaps even… the one to rule them all.
Okay, I am sorry about the wall of text; I have
