Please suggest interesting features for this "generic" movie lookup MVP

#

Hello all,

I just finished building a small hobby project called LetsDiscussMoviez — a minimal web app where you can look up movies and view basic ratings/data (IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, etc.). It’s currently very generic in functionality — you can browse and view movies, but that’s about it.

Now I need your help:

Instead of turning it into “just another IMDb clone”, I want to add one or two unique, fun or useful features that make it worth visiting regularly.

So — what would you love to see in a movie lookup site?

Some half-baked ideas I’m considering:

“Recommend me a movie like ___ but ___” (mashup-style filters)

Discussion threads under each movie like threads

"People who loved this also hated that” — reverse recommendations maybe?

AI-generated summaries / trivia / character breakdowns

Polls like “Better ending: Fight Club vs Se7en?”

Question for you:

What feature would make you bookmark this site or come back often?

Could be fun, social, niche, or even chaotic — I’m open to weird ideas.

Appreciate any feedback!

Is there an out-of-box django-allauth with beautiful frontend?

I’ve been working on a project with django-allauth for several weeks. It provides me an easy way to integrate with 3rd party OAuth 2. I’ve finished beautifying some of them like login, signup but it seems like there are still a few of them I should work on even I won’t use any of them.

Is there a way to block some of its urls like inactive users?
Or is there a battery included pack which has sleek style for all templates?

Help with structuring the model design

I am building a chat app, and this is currently the state of my models:

from social.models import Profile

class Chat(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)

class ChatParticipant(models.Model):
    chat = models.ForeignKey(
        Chat, related_name="participants", on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )
# Profile model is further linked to User
    profile = models.ForeignKey(Profile, related_name="chats", on_delete=models.CASCADE)


    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.profile.user.username} in {self.chat}"


    class Meta:
        unique_together = ["chat", "profile"]



class ChatMessage(models.Model):

Zuban - A Python Language Server / Typechecker - Beta Release

I have just created a Beta Release for Zuban.

Zuban now supports all key features of a Python Language Server — including completions, rename, and type checking — with auto-imports coming soon.

Zuban is a high-performance Python Language Server and type checker implemented in Rust, by the author of Jedi. Zuban is 20–200× faster than Mypy, while using roughly half the memory and CPU compared to Ty and Pyrefly. It offers both a PyRight-like mode and a Mypy-compatible mode, which behaves just like Mypy;
supporting the same config files, command-line flags, and error messages.

You can find the source code here.
Different Python type checkers are compared here.

The Zuban type checker is now in a very stable state, with many issues resolved and only a few remaining. The next planned features include dedicated support for Django and Pytest.

### Support

If you have a large Mypy codebase that needs significant bug fixing, I’d be happy to help.

Completely rewrote Buridan UI

Hey everyone, so today I decided to rewrite my ui lib from scratch and implemented a new site architecture. It's not perfect nor is it the last iteration, but I really liked the results and so I deccided to share it here!

**What My Project Does**

Buridan UI is a component library for Reflex that you copy and paste directly into your project instead of installing as a package. It provides:

* Wrapped React components (CountUp, Icons, Spinner, Typed effects, etc.)
* Pre-built UI patterns and layouts
* Chart components and data visualizations
* JavaScript integrations ready to use
* Multiple theming options (Hematite, Feyrouz, Yaqout, Zumurrud, Kahraman, Amethyst)

New features in this rewrite:

* **Markdown files static serve** \- you can view the content as markdown
* **AI assistant integration** \- Click to open ChatGPT or Claude with pre-filled prompts about the component or page that can be easily scrapped in markdown
* **SPA architecture** \- Completely rebuilt for smoother navigation and better performance
* **Cleaner codebase** \- Rewrote everything from scratch with lessons learned from v1

**Target Audience**

This is built for any Reflex developer, the copy-paste approach means you can use it in serious projects without worrying about the library being abandoned or breaking changes in updates.

**Comparison**

It's heavily inspired theme from

[Project] doespythonhaveit: a semantic search engine for Python libraries

Hey folks! I've been working on an open-source project called **doespythonhaveit**, a **semantic search engine for Python libraries** powered by `FastAPI` and `sentence-transformers`.

Basically, you can type something like:

>"machine learning time series"

and it'll (hopefully) suggest things like scikit-learn or darts.

The goal is to make discovering Python libraries faster, smarter, and a little less about keyword guessing.

It's not live *yet* (hosting the model costs a bit), but you can **try it locally**, setup instructions are in the repos:

* API: [github.com/hasboi/doespythonhaveit-api](https://github.com/hasboi/doespythonhaveit-api)
* Web: [github.com/hasboi/doespythonhaveit-web](https://github.com/hasboi/doespythonhaveit-web)

---

# What My Project Does

**doespythonhaveit** lets you search Python libraries *by meaning*, not by exact keywords. Instead of googling *"python library for handling CSVs elegantly"* and clicking through five Stack Overflow posts, you can just search that sentence directly — and it'll understand what you mean using embeddings.

I am also planning a **terminal version**, so you can type something like:

dphi <query> <flags>

and it will suggest relevant libraries **without leaving your code editor or terminal**, basically a semantic library search right where you write code.

---

# Target Audience

Mainly aimed at:

* **Developers** who are tired of remembering exact library names
* **Beginners** who want to discover tools without knowing where to start
* **Open-source enthusiasts** who love browsing cool Python projects

Right now

InfoLens - A python based GUI dashboard

Hello everyone!

I’ve been working on a Python project called InfoLens, a CustomTkinter\-based GUI dashboard that fetches and displays personalized information across multiple genres — news, finance, and weather — all in one place.

# What My Project Does:

It pulls live data from credible sources like:

🧪ScienceDaily – for science and innovation headlines

💰Economic Times & Yahoo Finance API – for real-time stock data and trends

🌤️**wttr.in** API – for location-based weather updates

# Purpose:

We live in a world where information surrounds us everywhere. In fact, the average person in 2025 processes about 75-80 GB of information per day up from 34 GB in 2008 and 63 GB in 2012. That includes all the ads, unnecessary clutter that one doesn't even need. However, studies have shown color-coded dashboards improved visual search performance and recall, enhancing both comprehension and memory; exactly what InfoLens does!

# 🔧Built with:

Python

CustomTkinter for the GUI

Web scraping (BeautifulSoup, requests)

APIs (yfinance, wttr.in, etc.)

# Target Audience:

Currently this is a side project, but meant for all python enthusiasts who are eager to provide their invaluable experience in this app.

# Comparison:

As a GUI dashboard, InfoLens focuses highly on data readability. While other tools like Perplexity exist, InfoLens is unique in the problem solving sense, using web scraping to

Anyone care to review my PR?

Just for a fun little experiment, this is a library I wrote a while ago based on Django-ninja and stateless JWT auth.

I just got a bit time to make some improvements, this PR adds the ability to instantiating a User instances statelessly during request handling without querying the database, which is a particularly helpful pattern for micro services where the auth service (and database) is isolated.

I built a VS Code extension for uv integration and PEP 723 scripts

Hey folks! I've been working on a VS Code extension that brings uv integration and PEP 723 support directly into your editor — making Python script development way more powerful.

The extension lets you manage packages, run scripts, and handle dependencies without ever leaving VS Code or switching to the terminal. Plus, with PEP 723 support, your scripts become truly portable and shareable.

Here's what a PEP 723 script looks like:

# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.9"
# dependencies = [
# "cowsay"
# ]
# ///
import cowsay

cowsay.cow("Hello World!")


You can copy this script anywhere, share it with anyone, and it'll just work — no setup instructions needed.

## What My Project Does

My extension provides:
`uv` integration built directly into VS Code
Add, remove, and update packages without touching the terminal
Automatic PEP 723 script metadata detection and management
Complete LSP support (autocomplete, type checking, go-to-definition) for scripts
One-click run and debug for scripts
Smart virtual environment handling behind the scenes

Basically, you get the speed and power of uv with the convenience of never leaving your editor, plus a better way to write and share self-contained Python scripts.

## Target Audience

This is mainly aimed at:
Python developers who want faster package management in their workflow
People

Automating your heating with Octopus Energy AGILE tariff

Hi all, I've just made a Python tutorial for how you can automate your electric heaters during the Agile Energy Plunge Pricing, in the UK.

Effectively, we're automatically switching on our smart plugs (electric radiators), when the price of electricity is negative. This results in consistent credit back every time there's an Octopus Energy Plunge Pricing, plus a nice warm home.

You just need Tapo smart plugs and a Raspberry pi.

D For people who work (as PhD students) in Mila, Quebec, what your experience have been like?

You may know that Mila in Quebec is opening applications for PhD students recently, and I am considering for applying. I have searched relevent key words here, but it seems that there are not so many recent posts on studying and working experience at Mila, so I was wondering how do you like your experience here and/or in Montreal in general? For instance, how do you like your work-life balance, Montreal's winter/weather aspects, supervisors? To be more specific, I am interested in DL/LLM theory, AI / foundational models for (formal) math (e.g., Goedel-Prover-V2), and/or post-training.

Thank you!
