Source wouldn't exist without a number of wonderful open-source tools and projects, including:
- Django, simply the best web-development framework for perfectionists with deadlines.
- django-environ, for using environment variables to store project secrets like database locations and API passwords.
- django-haystack, for indexing content and standing up a search engine with elasticsearch underneath.
- django-lockdown, for password-protecting a development site (which sometimes you have to do quickly after accidentally pushing out the staging URL in a live RSS feed).
- django-sesame, for passwordless login via magic link over email.
- django-storages, for interacting with Amazon S3 to store media files.
- django-taggit, for adding some taxonomy.
- requests, because why in the world would you make HTTP requests via Python any other way.
- sorl-thumbnail, letting templates define the auto-cropped image sizes they need.
- tyopgrify, for smart-quoting, widow-killing, and other little things that lead to nicer typography.
- whitenoise, for serving static files simply in production.
