Hey! I'm the creator (fork-er?) of Plain. I have mixed feelings too — if all this does is help spur some new activity around Django, that would be a good outcome!

Lol, that's why I added the "or watch the video / read the Forge start page". 50% off right now though! Still thinking through some of these things. Not sure how to let people "try" it without basically giving

> your promo material sucks Well put. Yeah I'm not 100% sure yet what level of Django experience is required to use (or at least appreciate) Forge? Should you have used Django at least once before on a project? Gone through the offi

I haven't actually tried Pegasus, so I can't say exactly. In a lot of ways I'm sure they're similar. Some differences with Forge might be the removal of options: - Pegasus looks like it supports multiple CSS frameworks

Yep. Don't know if this will become an issue or not, but it is unfortunate in retrospect.

Yeah I could see that argument too. Lots of hard decisions and interesting questions in terms of how to navigate what people want/need. Honestly I don't envy their situation. It has even made me think crazy things like what a Djan

Kudos to czue and Pegasus! I haven't used it before, but if that's a better fit for what you want, go buy it! Honestly I feel a little weird "competing" directly with something like this, but such is life. Thanks to ever

All good ideas — thanks for taking the time. I've been thinking about some of these but not all. On the 1 customer vs 100, I totally lean towards the 100. I have a blend of these with https://www.pullapprove.com/ and t

Don't have any plans for Wagtail or hosting, but those are interesting questions. I'll have to give it some thought.

Good point. Still trying to figure out who is interested, but I'll probably add a student/educational discount too. (If anybody sees this and wants that, let me know.)

https://bullettrain.co/pricing is another example ($1450 one-time + $550/year). > Maybe it’s more for people who are about to start a second revenue project. I do think this is an interesting point that's come

I have some regrets on this. I sort of landed on the name and then learned about Laravel Forge. But went with it anyway.

I could absolutely see the "borrow some code" angle. Especially if you have an existing/established project where it would be pretty hard to integrate everything anyway. $1000 is not much for a company looking for another &qu

> Things like django-coookiecutter are great, but they only really cover the project structure. This is an important point, for me anyway. Yeah $1000 can be a lot for an individual (myself included), especially for a hobby/side proj

Yeah I've been considering that. Probably more likely that I'll lower the price, learn some things, then ramp it up. Free feels hard to reverse and the difference between "I wouldn't pay at all" vs "I'd pa

Thanks. Completely agree on the contrast to rails... This has been a super interesting process for myself in thinking through "what are the parts of Django that are either way too clunky, or just completely outdated?" I think ther

Thanks! I found Reactive somehow yesterday — haven't looked closely at it yet but I will. Always cool to see more stuff in the ecosystem. But yeah, personally I feel like there are few things the Django community could learn (or at lea

Wish I could figure out how to do a free trial. I've obviously considered whether the whole thing should be free and open-source in the first place, but getting paid to work on this stuff is the best way I know to make something high q

100%. Still working through it, but I think the question (or one of them) to me is whether you can lower the bar to where non-experts can get off the ground with some "expert" opinions (or at least experienced ones). Django itself

Thanks. Yeah, I agree with that. I'm honestly still trying to figure out exactly who it's for and the whole free/paid/price equation. Individuals? Agencies? Beginners? People with a couple years Django experience? I&#x27

You might be interested in taking a look at PullApprove ( https://pullapprove.com/ ) -- basically you put a YAML in your repo that defines what code review looks like for your team (who, when, how many need to approve, etc. -

Awesome! I actually contemplated going that route as well, but obviously decided not to. Cool use for Lambda though. Do you find that people are using that feature?
