In this episode, I completed the last form that completes the last step on my Django app’s onboarding process. We built up the view, wrote the tests, and worked through the templates changes. I started with a discussion of what the onboarding flow does and what was left. I needed to make a form that creates a task for a course. For the first chunk of code, we added some tests to cover all the scenarios that are important for the view.

In this episode, we looked at an UpdateView for the GradeLevel model in the homeschool application. Along the way, I had to display some UI elements on the grade to give users the ability to adjust the ordering of courses within their grade level. We started by adding the icon link that I wanted to use to give users access to the edit page. Once the link was in place, I created the URL and copied an existing view as a starting point for the UpdateView.

In this episode, I worked on a method of adding static content to a site that didn’t involve the staticfiles directory, a separate domain, or a reverse proxy like Nginx. We had to get clever with Heroku buildpacks and how to configure WhiteNoise. I want to put a blog on my side project for content marketing purposes. I want the blog to be statically generated and have content come from Markdown (just like these show notes that you’re currently reading).

In this episode, I created a template for one of my new forms on the new social media app that I’m building. We talked about context data, template styling, and special considerations for forms in templates. I had an empty template for the invite sending form to begin.

After discussing the progress, I took some time to cover the expected budget for the application to get it to an MVP.

In this episode, I started a new project to build a different kind of social network. This social network will contain a max number of connections to encourage thoughtful choice when growing your personal network. We talked MVP features and put in the basics of a Django app. I had a wild thought to build a social network with a capped number of connection in the hope that users would choose their connections based on people that they really care about.
