Buttered Cat Django Project
So I’ve been working on a replacement web application for what runs the Buttered Cat Website written in Django. I whipped together a basic site in PHP with Zend Framework at first but got annoyed fast, partly for my laziness in building an administration interface. Django steps in helping with that big time via it’s automatic admin.
My immediate needs for the site are just product pages, support form, and product download handling. I wanted download stats along with Sparkle+ support. The Zend Framework based site that’s running now I had all that whipped together pretty quickly. After disliking using ZF this purpose and wanting an administration without too much effort I decided to play with Django which I’ve only toyed with before. And I was able to reproduce my previous work quickly and with administration to boot.
If there’s anybody interested in hearing more about the project let me know, I mostly built it since I hadn’t found anything I liked besides a nice rails app for handling the store part of the site, which is PotionStore.
Here’s some shots of how it looks so far:
