This project looks very useful. It's easy to burn through $1000 in software engineering time setting up the initial stages of a project and this looks like it does a great job of streamlining that for you.

Another thing I like about this project: I've always felt that the rails community does a better job than the django community in the out-of-the-box experience of setting up a new app. This project seems to bring some of that niceness to the django world (and would be similar to https://jumpstartrails.com/).

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process for myself in thinking through "what are the parts of Django that are either way too clunky, or just completely outdated?"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 there's more than a couple... There are a lot of things I realized I have just gotten used to, but people new to Django would find super odd (why aren't emails required to be unique on users by default?).

Would also recommend people listen to the first episode of https://www.frameworkfriends.com/ if they are thinking about these kinds of things.

projects like this are impossible to sell to businesses
