Many of you have probably heard of Wagtail CMS, but not everyone knows that Wagtail, in a nutshell, is a supercharged admin backend for Django . At least that's how I see it, and how I often pitch it to fellow Django developers. Django comes with its own django.contrib.admin … Read now
A few years back, a healthcare professional association reached out to me. They regulate and support thousands of practitioners across their region: licensing, insurance, events, the whole deal.
