(December 2025)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>Trying to rebuild my website (php mvc built a decade ago) using Django. I want to be able to update any page content, upload and display images, have multiple blog instances. I do a lot of django-cms by day, but it's too much for a small personal website, so I started to create a (tiny, foss) CMS based on Django, django-prose-editor for the content, and some new apps (for now, Page & Blog).<p>The site isn't even online, but for now I'm starting to think about the next steps (seo-related things to implement, generalize app functions to handle not only blog but other (hypothetical) apps as well, improve code quality and repo readability, separate apps from the website so anyone can add them to their django website if they want to). It's a lot of work for something no one will ever use, but I must at least try to make it clean and discoverable :)</p>

<p>There are already a lot of initiatives following this logic (like the small web movement, the indieweb, gemini/gopher protocols...), but the problem here is that people are using the web, not those projects. Even the fediverse is growing slowly, while it's using the web.</p>

<p>> Personal experience however shows me that when I look at a recipe site I will first have to skip through the entire backstory to the recipe and then try to parse it inbetween annoying ads in a bloated wordpress page<p>That's when money comes into view. People were putting time and effort to offer something for free, then some companies told them they could actually earn money from their content. So they put on ads because who don't like some money for already-done work?<p>Then the same companies told them that they will make less money, and if they wanted to still earn the same amount as before, they will need to put more ads, and to have more visits (so invest heavily in seo).<p>Those people had already organized themselves (or stopped updating their websites), and had created companies to handle money generated from their websites. In order to keep the companies sustainable, they needed to add more ads on the websites.<p>Then some people thought that maybe they could buy the companies making the recipes website, and put a bunch more ads to earn even more money.<p>I think you're thinking about those websites owned by big companies whose only goal is to make money, but author is writing about real websites made by real people who don't show ads on websites they made because they care about their visitors, and not about making money.</p>

<p>You can learn more about weasyprint on their website (<a href="https://weasyprint.org/" rel="nofollow">https://weasyprint.org/</a> ). It's an open source Python package that can be launched using cli or from Python code.
It uses pypdf, which is "pydyf is a low-level PDF generator written in Python and based on PDF specification 1.7" (from their README at <a href="https://github.com/CourtBouillon/pydyf">https://github.com/CourtBouillon/pydyf</a> ).</p>
