The article is ever-evolving. Feel free to suggest improvements in GitHub issues.

What's missing?

Database: SQLite WAL mode

SQLite will suffice for most of the starter project. Especially with journal: WAL mode enabled. I have not yet added this to the article.

1. django-components: https://github.com/django-components/django-components
2. django-template-partials: https://github.com/carltongibson/django-template-partials

I am learning towards 1.
