Slowly getting back to work, combining Tailwind and htmx with Django. Released a new version of django-cast which now includes all the information needed to run a SPA in front of it from a theme. This was more work than expected. To make sure there's all the information needed for a SPA theme, I built a Vue.js cast-vue theme for django-cast, which is now feature complete after adding comments and the podlove player for audio content last week. Also met with Manuel to work on training LLMs from scratch using all the Python code from GitHub.
