While Spense v0.2 is under development, I want to talk about the internal organization of the application from a technical perspective. This article is mainly for web developers, and it's written in the corresponding language, so if you're reading and don't understand anything, that's okay, you can just skip it.

In a Nutshell

Backend on Django (Python), frontend on Django templates and Bootstrap, with a pinch of JavaScript and some htmx (not anymore).

Why So Boring?

Sounds not very hype, right. But remember that Spense in its current state is not a full-fledged product. It's more of a prototype, in which I often need to change things and test ideas. If the ideas work, I'll throw this code away and write another; if they don't, I'll just keep it for memory.

So, I chose Django not because I love it (actually, I hate it), but because I've gotten used to it over the last year, and it allows me to prototype the application easily and quickly.
