Weeknotes (2024 week 51) Building forms using Django I last wrote about this topic in April. It has resurfaced on Mastodon this week. I’m thinking about writing a feincms3-forms demo app, but I already have too much on my plate.

I have been using object-based assets long before Django actually added support for them in 4.1 (since 2016, that’s before Django 1.10!) by using a gross hack.
