A selfhosted web app built with plain Python

### What My Project Does
- Code: https://github.com/daya0576/beaverhabits/
- Demo: https://beaverhabits.com/demo/

When switching from Android to iOS, I was unable to find a light-weighted but handy habit tracking app, so I decided to make one by myself :p

The project's name (Beaver Habit Tracker) came from a game called "Against the Storm" (which I spent over 200 hours, highly recommended). In the game, my favourite species is the beaver, hoping this web app works as a beaver to record ur precious moments in your fleeting life.

---

### How the Project was Developed
Inspired the idea of "web UIs with plain Python" from Three Python trends in 2023, I developed a web app with 100% pure Python <3

The app is powered by an out-of-the-box framework called NiceGUI (including Quasar, Tailwind CSS, FastAPI, ...).

Some thoughts to share after several months of development:

- Good things ✅
1. WebSocket based communication between client and server, works perfectly with Python asyncio
2. Light-weighted session based storage provided, out of the box to use
3. Plenty of UI components provided, straightforward and highly customizable
4. ...
- Disadvantages:
1. The framework NiceGUI follows a backend-first philosophy: It hadles everything on the server side -> network latency could

I Wrote a Guide to Simulation in Python with SimPy

Hi folks,

I wrote a guide on discrete-event simulation with SimPy, designed to give you a solid foundation in building simulations using Python. Kind of like the official documentation but on steroids.

I have used SimPy personally in my own career for over a decade, it was central in helping me build a pretty successful engineering career. My latest venture is teaching others all about it.

If you do get the guide, I’d really appreciate any feedback you have. Feel free to drop your thoughts here in the thread or DM me directly!

Here’s the link to get the guide: https://simulation.teachem.digital/free-simulation-in-python-guide

For full transparency, why do I ask for your email?

Well I’m working on a full course following on from my previous Udemy course on Python. This new course will be all about real-world modelling and simulation with SimPy, and I’d love to send you keep you in the loop via email. If you found the guide helpful you would might be interested in the course. That said, you’re completely free to hit “unsubscribe” after the guide arrives if you prefer.

I am trying to create multiple forms with a max_entries = to the number of usernames in the db. I realize it would probably be simpler with javascript the problem is I don't know any javascript. What would be the best way to do this using fieldList?

How do I create multiple forms with a max\_entries = to the number of usernames in the db? Here is the code I am basing this on [https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/](https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/) I tried this version in [app.py](http://app.py)

Also I just want one of the forms filled out at a time.

class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0, max_entries=0)

I also tried this example with not having `max_entries` in [app.py](http://app.py)

class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0)

I got the above idea from chatgpt so I am not sure if it will even work.

Here is a simple working example.

Here is my example [app.py](http://app.py)

Also when I try to go `flash(number_of_usernames_in_db) I get 5 so that can't be the problem.`

Flask, Gunicorn, multiprocessing under the hood. Optimal number of workers?

I'm in the process of configuring my flask app, trying to find the optimal configuration for our use case.

We had a slow endpoint on our API, but with the implementation of multiprocessing we've managed to roughly 10x the performance of that particular task such that the speed is acceptable.

I deploy the image on a VM with 16 cores.

The multiprocessing uses all 16 cores.

The gunicorn documentation seems to recommend a configuration of (2*num_cores) + 1 workers.

I tried this configuration, but it seems to make the machine fall over. Is this becase multiple workers trying to access all the cores at the same time is a disaster?

The optimal configuration for my app seems to be simply 1 gunicorn worker. Then it has sole access to the 16 cores, and it can complete requests in a good amount of time and then move onto the next request.

Does this sound normal / expected?

I deploy to Azure and the error I kept seeing until I reduced the number of workers was something like 'rate limit: too many requests' even though it was only 10 simultaneous requests.

(on second thought, I think this rate limit is hitting a memory limit. When 2 requests come in, and attempt

Why Django

Why would you pick Django over other similar frameworks such Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Phoenix, Adonis, etc?

I hear lots of people say Django very rarely has breaking changes - do you stand by that?

New Deep Learning Framework; Zephyr is on early release; active development

What My Project Does

It is deep learning library / framework on top of JAX. Zephyr was motivated by an inclination to writing FP because JAX was FP. Zephyr reflects the nature of networks and layers, they are simply mathematical functions. By reflecting this, you are able to write code quicker and easier with minimal learning curve.

Target Audience

This framework is not ready for production nor general use. It is in active development and if you do use it, I highly appreciate it and so if you submit reports or requests, I will tend to them immediately.

It is for people who would like to use JAX in an FP way.

Comparison 

Within JAX: Flax, Haiku, and Equinox are your options; within python you additionally have Tensorflow and PyTorch. All of which are OO. In contrast, Zephyr is FP and you write nets and layers as functions.

OO - FP: Because zephyr is FP, it looks similar to math and it enjoys shorter code because there is no 1) initialize the module 2) call/forward/apply the module. There are only function calls. FP is more explicit tho

Here is a short example. (Some variables are not specified for brevity). README for more.

Replacing CharField with ForeignKey

In my model Event, I have the following field defined:

  
event_type = models.CharField('Kursart', max_length=20, choices=EVENT_TYPE_ALL, default=ALLGEMEIN)

Meanwhile, the application has grown and I have to gerneralize the event_type. The optimal solution would be a ForeignKey to a model EventType holding attributes currently also part of Event.
I have established the model EventType. Now I wonder, how do I migrate the CharField to the ForeignKey? makemigrations and migrate doesn't work (obviously) because names, datastructures (ie. everything) has changed.

A migration is necessary to keep the data.

What problems do Large Language Models (LLMs) actually solve very well? D

While there's growing skepticism about the AI hype cycle, particularly around chatbots and RAG systems, I'm interested in identifying specific problems where LLMs demonstrably outperform traditional methods in terms of accuracy, cost, or efficiency. Problems I can think of are:

\- words categorization

\- sentiment analysis of no-large body of text

\- image recognition (to some extent)

\- writing style transfer (to some extent)

what else?

How do you manage email signups & newsletters in Django?
