Busy writing a Django React ssr app

I'm currently writing a Django app for where I can use react components inside my Django templates using Django tags. I created it as I hated the idea of using 2 servers, nextjs AND Django, where Django is light-years ahead and then dealing with silly nextjs methodologies.

It truly streamlined my development giving me smooth react SSR meaning better vital scores plus I get to manage components in a Django way, it forced me to write cleaner reusable react components. That and people often get lost in on nextjs as they would naturally try to force business logic in places where they shouldn't belong. And you are finally forced to write extra API endpoints for silly get requests on trivial things from Django to nextjs.I did a trial run in wagtail as well which gives you crazy control CMS style.

If anyone is interested I'd be happy to open-source as for now it is only part of my project i am working on, if so we can collaborate on making it even better but this is what it looks like currently when you use it in Django templates.

Arguments include.

1. Component Name

2. Ssr - should the component render server side?

3. Ssp - server

Spotify Api Recommender System

Hi guys,
Lately spotify's recommendations have been going from bad to worse imo. I have been thinking to build a better recommender system on top of the spotify api. I hope to find some help in the sub regarding some techniques and some starter idea to go by.
I'm very new to building recommender systems tbh. Thanks in advance for your help.

Beginner Question regarding Flask-Login's loginrequired decorator

So I want to create a route where the user has to be logged in to view the contents of a post.

Normally you would write the @ login\required decorator before the function definition.

But I want the authors to be able to make their posts viewable to anyone even if they are not logged in.

Currently i use current_user.is_authenticated and if the user is anonymous i use the redirect() function to manually redirect the user to the login. My question was if there is a better way to do it with the decorator like you normally do

A python program that Searches, Plays Music from YouTube Directly

music-cli is a lightweight, terminal-based music player designed for users who prefer a minimal, command-line approach to listening to music. It allows you to play and download YouTube videos directly from the terminal, with support for mpv, VLC, or even terminal-based playback.

Now, I know this isn't some huge, super-polished project like you guys usually build here, but it's actually quite good.

What music-cli does

• Play music from YouTube or your local library directly from the terminal
• Search for songs, enter a query, get the top 5 YouTube results, and play them instantly
• Choose your player—play directly in the terminal or open in VLC/mpv
• Download tracks as MP3 files effortlessly
• Library management for your downloaded songs
• Playback history to keep track of what you've listened to

Target Audience

This project is perfect for Linux users, terminal enthusiasts, and those who prefer lightweight, no-nonsense music solutions without relying on resource-heavy graphical apps.

How it differs from alternatives

Unlike traditional music streaming services, music-cli doesn't require a GUI or a dedicated online music player. It’s a fast, minimal, and customizable alternative, offering direct control over playback and downloads right from the terminal.

Will you use a RAG library?

Hi there peeps,

I built a sophisticated RAG system based on local first principles - using pgvector as a backend.

I already extracted out of this system the text-extraction logic, which I published as Kreuzberg (see: https://github.com/Goldziher/kreuzberg). My reasoning was that this is not directly coupled to my business case (https://grantflow.ai) and it could be an open source library. But the core of the system I developed is also, with some small adjustments, generic.

I am considering publishing it as a library, but I am not sure people will actually use this. That's why I'm posting - do you think there is a place for such a library? Would you consider using it? What would be important for you?

Please lemme know. I don't want to do this work if it's just gonna be me using it in the end.

I made a job board aggregator that uses LLMs to find Python jobs with your exact stack

Hey r/Python,

I built a desktop app called First 2 Apply that I wanted to share.

What My Project Does It's a job board aggregator that uses LLMs to filter jobs based on specific tech stack requirements. The app analyzes both job titles and full descriptions through an LLM to determine if a position truly matches your criteria, rather than just using keyword matching.

Target Audience This is meant for developers who are job hunting and want to filter opportunities by very specific technical requirements. It's a production-ready desktop application that I built for my own job search and thought others might benefit from too.

Comparison Unlike traditional job boards where filtering is limited to keywords (which often miss context or return false positives), First 2 Apply uses AI to understand the actual requirements. For example, when searching for Python jobs, most aggregators would return results where Python is mentioned anywhere - even if it's just "nice to have" or the job actually requires 5 years of Django when you're a Flask developer. This tool can specifically find Python jobs that use Flask, PostgreSQL, and React, while excluding ones that require Django or MongoDB.

I use it to search for Python positions that match my

Multithreaded zip compression

I a writing a python tool that compress folders with some filtering done. I use the zipfile module with DEFLATED algorithm.

Looking for a way to multithread the compression loop, in such a way that the end result is highly compatible (so zip with DEFLATED or bz2) but not some fancy newer algorithm, it is for archiving stuff.

What are the best options ? Use threadpool (but I guess the CPU won’t be used enough). Using a third party open source library? Any rust wrapper available ?

Thanks for your answer

Feedback on my Flask AuthService project for job applications

Hey everyone!

I’m currently job hunting and built this AuthService project to showcase my skills. It’s a Flask-based authentication system featuring user login, MFA (pyotp), and password reset functionality.

Additionally, I incorporated some basic DevOps concepts like Docker Compose and followed a repository architecture for better maintainability.

I’d love some constructive feedback—especially on code quality, security, and best practices—before adding it to my portfolio.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is it safe to put a CSRF_TOKEN inside the URL of a websocket-consumer connection?

In my app I have a WebSocket connection with a consumer to handle a live-chat and stuff and because in this consumer I have to generate an HTML form with a CSRF token in it, I'm currently passing the CSRF token from the WebSocket to the consumer via their *URL* if it's the correct word.

Project Rusty Graph: Python Library for Knowledge Graphs from SQL Data

# What my project does

Rusty Graph is a high-performance graph database library with Python bindings written in Rust. It transforms SQL data into knowledge graphs, making it easy to discover relationships and patterns hidden in relational databases.

# Target Audience

Data scientists working with complex relational datasets
Developers building applications that need to traverse relationships
Anyone who's found SQL joins and subqueries limiting when trying to extract insights from connected data

# Implementation

The library bridges the gap between tabular data and graph-based analysis:

# Transform SQL data into a knowledge graph with minimal code
graph = rusty_graph.KnowledgeGraph()
graph.add_nodes(data=users_df, node_type='User', unique_id_field='user_id')
graph.add_connections(
data=purchases_df,
connection_type='PURCHASED',
source_type='User',
source_id_field='user_id',
target_type='Product',
target_id_field='product_id',
)

# Calculate insights directly on the graph
user_spending = graph.type_filter('User').traverse('PURCHASED').calculate(
expression='sum(price quantity)',

I am building a technical debt quantification tool for Python frameworks -- looking for feedback

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a tool that **automates technical debt analysis** for Python teams. One of the biggest frustrations I’ve seen is that **SonarQube applies generic rules but doesn’t detect which framework you’re using (Django, Flask, FastAPI, etc.)**.

🔹 **What it does:**
✅ **Auto-detects the framework** in your repo (**no manual setup needed**).
✅ **Applies custom SonarQube rules** tailored to that framework.
✅ Generates a **framework-aware technical debt report** so teams can prioritize fixes.

💡 The idea is to save teams from **writing custom rules manually** and provide **more meaningful insights on tech debt.**

🚀 **Looking for feedback!**

* Would this be useful for your team?
* What are your biggest frustrations with SonarQube & technical debt tracking?
* Any must-have features you’d like in something like this?

I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you’re interested in testing it, I can share early access. 😊

Thanks in advance! 🙌

django-pghistory vs django-simple-history?

I am using Django + PostGres and the goal here is just tracing the events and build a timeline (x was added / removed from Y, value Z change from 1 to 2, etc.), not necessarily recover any state at a given time.

Any recommendations which library to use? Any remarks about either of them, what to consider, pitfalls, etc.?

Matlab's variable explorer is amazing. What's pythons closest?

Hi all,

Long time python user. Recently needed to use Matlab for a customer. They had a large data set saved in their native *mat file structure.

It was so simple and easy to explore the data within the structure without needing any code itself. It made extracting the data I needed super quick and simple. Made me wonder if anything similar exists in Python?

I know Spyder has a variable explorer (which is good) but it dies as soon as the data structure is remotely complex.

I will likely need to do this often with different data sets.

Background: I'm converting a lot of the code from an academic research group to run in p.
