I’ve been toying with Django for a week or so and started building a simple CRUD app. Essentially it is a todo list software. Mainly this is because it is suitably small project and it is also scratching my own itch. For the latter correct solution would be to be lazy and use Todoist or Remember the Milk.
If I get the software out and about within the next 6 months I might actually try to monetize it. I doubt there is a lot of money in it, though to my understanding the RTM guys do make a living with it. The price range for the extra features of Pro or Premium version is $3/month to $25/year. Even for a single developer you do need reasonable amount of subscribers to make a living. Anyways, we’ll see if anything comes out of this. There’s pretty much work involved in making everything ajaxy.
Still, this is interesting exercise, especially as both Django and Python are really new to me and so is the whole web framework world. Back when I worked on a .Net webapp using VB.Net pretty much everything had to be done by hand. Luckily these days I’m a lot better developer and much more interested in the whole field of sotfware development.
