Just released v0.5.0 of my django-litestream package, now compatible with Litestream 0.5.2.
The main changes include updates to match the new Litestream CLI, and I’ve also removed the old `init` command — it turned out to be completely useless. I also removed dbs auto discovery, I don't remember why I did that initally, but it was clearly a stupid idea.

If you need to convince someone about the importance of "Locality of Behavior" (LoB) in #Django, show them a large project that attempted to do "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) on a bunch of Django Rest Framework serializers 🍝
It's a pattern I've seen repeated with both models, forms and class-based views. Class-inheritance invites DRY'ing of loosely related objects that often turn out to diverge once the project has evolved.
Anyways good luck out there with the DRY'ing, LoB'ing and YAGNI'ing 🤹♂️
Been working on a new feature for @reviewboard extension developers. TemplateHooks today let extensions inject arbitrary HTML into parts of the page, but now we're making this more flexible via a new Page State Injectors feature, as part of our Djblets for #Django project.
Djblets (https://github.com/djblets/djblets/) is a series of reusable apps for Django that help make more involved web applications.
Today we’re at the first ever #DjangoDayIndia ✨🇮🇳✨ at Scaler School of Technology! It’s really special to be at the first edition of a new #Django event, and the crowd here is loving it 💚

🚀 Feature Friday: Database-computed default values in Django!
Did you know about db_default field attribute that recently landed in Django 5.0 ?
This feature allows the database to calculate the default values of your model fields. 🧵 (1/3)
Django's built-in admin is powerful, but it's essentially a separate framework within Django. After attempting to modernize django-admin2, I realized we needed a fresh approach: an admin interface that works like the rest of Django, built on generic CBVs, plugins, and view factories. Meet Django Admin Deux: a proof-of-concept admin where CRUD operations are just actions, knowledge transfers both ways, and everything feels like Django.

🚀 Feature Friday: Simplified templates for form field rendering !
Django 5.0 introduced a field group and field group templates, simplifying the rendering of related form field elements like labels, widgets, help text, and errors.

Hey #django friends! I'm almost done with a small utility and I wanted to see what y'all think of it before I release it. https://github.com/kennethlove/django-migrator is the repository and currently the only way to install it.
It adds three management commands:
- `reset_database` which drops all tables and runs migrations
- `redo_migration` which reverts and applies the last migration (this takes an optional app name)
- `revert_migration` which reverts 1+ migrations, also optionally for an app
I think they're handy tools, especially early in development.
Thanks for reading and looking!
Gah! That took longer than I thought. I'm exhausted. 😅

🚀 Feature Friday: This new testing feature is available for Python 3.12+ users with Django 5.0+ ⏰
With "test --durations", you can quickly find the slowest tests in your project, letting you optimize things where they'll have the most impact.
The #Django community is one that opens doors and welcomes people in. This wouldn't be possible without our opportunity grant sponsor, the @django. Thank you Django Software Foundation for helping make #DjangoConUS accessible to more folks!
