Spotify data visualizations

* **What My Project Does**

My project offers a visualization of spotify data through a web application.

* **Target Audience**

The project is aimed at anyone who uses Spotify and likes music

* **Comparison**

My project is different from a classic Spotify wrapped because it offers new features, is interactive and allows you to select the period of interest. Plus you can watch it more than once a year :)


Feel free to give me suggestions with pull requests and issues as I plan to expand the project further. [Github](https://github.com/marcobadiello/Esame-Sistemi-2.git)

I built web app using Django!

Hello everyone 👋,

I just wanted to show off a web app I made using Django. Outside of tutorial projects, this is my first official project. It's called Salted Vanilla and it's a scented candle cataloging web app.

I used this tutorial by Kostja to start the project and I built from there. I'm using Appliku to deploy on AWS Lightsail. I used ChatGPT to help with model structure and relationships. I am using Django templates, a little Bootstrap, and most recently Bootstrap Studio for the front end.


Here is the git repo


Here is a video demo you can check out


If you have any critiques on structure or anything, please let me know!

Benchmark library that uses PostgreSQL

I am writing an open-source library that simplifies CRUD operations for PostgreSQL. The most similar library would be SQLAlchemy Core.

I plan to benchmark my library against SQLAlchemy ORM, SQLAlchemy Core, and SQLModel. I am unsure about the setup. I have the following considerations:

\- Local DB vs Remote DB. Or both?
\- My library depends on psycopg. Should I only use psycopg for the others?
\- Which test cases should I cover?
\- My library integrates pydantic / msgspec for serialisation and validation. What' the best practice for SQLAlchemy here? Do I need other libraries?

What are your opinions. Do you maybe have some good guidelines or examples?

My library is not yet released but quite stable. You can find more details here:

Rest GET api deployed in flask+gunicorn giving 404 error

I have deployed a REST GET api in my development environment using gunicorn+flask on linux. However, I'm getting 404 error. This api used to work in the same environment before but now started getting 404. I checked the code and the url map as well in my flask app and this api is listed there. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this thing.

I made a step-by-step tutorial on setting up JWT authentication with HttpOnly cookies using Django and Next.js

This is my second DRF JWT authentication tutorial. I made it because, after my first tutorial, where tokens were stored in local storage, I was asked for an httpOnly cookies implementation and for more detailed explanations for each step.

In this tutorial, I tried to keep things simple; I didn’t add too many custom features. Instead, I focused on explaining the process as I coded, while trying not to be too boring.

Here’s the link:

I made an open source, self hostable, AI meeting Copilot

Hey Everyone 👋

I recently built **Amurex**, a self-hosted AI meeting copilot that actually works:

**What My Project Does**

Amurex is a self-hosted AI meeting copilot that:

* Records meetings seamlessly (no bot interruptions).
* Delivers accurate trannoscripts instantly.
* Drafts follow-up emails automatically.
* Keeps a memory of past meetings for easy context.
* Provides **real-time engagement suggestions** during boring meetings (unique feature!).

It’s open source, self-hosted, and ensures full data privacy with no subnoscriptions or vendor lock-in. And of course, it uses [Robyn](https://github.com/sparckles/Robyn) as the backend ;)

**Target Audience**

Perfect for professionals, privacy-conscious users, and open-source enthusiasts who want smarter meeting tools.

**Comparison**

|**Feature**|**Amurex**|**Others**|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Real-Time Suggestions|Yes|No|
|Seamless Recording|Yes|Bot interruptions|
|Self-Hosted Privacy|Full control|Third-party servers|

JH container shows regular CPU spikes even when no clients are connected: normal behavior?

I'm running the JupyterHub single-user image and noticing spikes in CPU usage ever ~30s or so

Is this normal for JH? Looking at the output of top in the container shows the python3 process is being called periodically. Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this assuming it's not normal behavior? Thanks.

unable to access config from celery task

I am currently working on an app where i need to have scheduled tasks that perform som api calls to external service and store results in a db.

I use Celery to achieve this using this guide https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/patterns/celery/
, i am able to schedule my tasks but the config containing all the api endpoint details and stuff is empty.

here is my testing code if i instead pass currentapp.config in helloworld() the only config variable set is "rootpath"

from flask import currentapp
from app import app, config

🌟 NanoDjango Enthusiasts, Assemble! 🚀✨

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm working on a small project using [NanoDjango](https://github.com/kracekumar/nanodjango), a lightweight Django-like framework, to build a **Provident Fund Tracker App**. I've got the app mostly set up, but I’m running into some challenges and would love some guidance from anyone who has experience with NanoDjango or Django in general.

# What I’ve Done So Far:

1. **Models:** I’ve defined `Company`, `Employee`, and `PFPayment` models for storing company and employee data.
2. **Data Fetching:** I implemented a custom management command to fetch data from an Excel file and an XML file and populate the database.
3. **Web Views:** I’ve created views for:
* A homepage listing all companies.
* A detailed view for each company, showing its employees.
* A detailed view for each employee, showing their payment history.
4. **Templates:** HTML templates are located in the `templates` folder and are working fine with the `render` function.

**Update: I can easily populate using admin panel but want to do with custom command which will take data from excel file.**

# The Problem:

I’m struggling with:

1. Running my custom management command to populate the database. What’s the correct command to use with NanoDjango ?.

I will share the repo if anyone intested in helping
