Has support for this improved or been documented? Thanks. Awesome tool.

Re: How to Run an Instagram Influencer Campaign

Great article! I would dispute some points, especially number 2. Instagram is really not suitable for text heavy material. It’s better to work with influencers and give them freedom for how to integrate the product or offering into the concept of their account. If you are in the UK you can shortcut some of these steps mentioned above by going through a platform like Takumi (www.takumi.com). Disclaimer: I’m co-founder.

Good point with non-template hires. As an industry I think we are quite good at making these calls with people and appreciating that talent doesn’t always come from the perfectly constructed degree. This is especially true for "hybrid" talent — dev/design, frontend/backend etc. Those are super valuable and can come from a number of unexpected directions.

You could argue e-commerce simple hasn’t embraced social. Amazon for example does not make it a fluid experience to share your purchases or even monetize your influence through your network. Or they could certainly lower the barriers and integrate more deeply into Twitter and Facebook.

For what it’s worth, you can easily add Regex routing to Werkzeug.

I’m not going to give the project credit for the dogmatic approach to templating. If users need hand holding that’s fine, perhaps there’s value in the elegance of dumbed down templates. I’m just going to point to the flurry of templatetags maintained and tacked onto extensions. When they blow up there’s the weird ass tracebacks to deal with, instead of having templates be part of the stacktrace.

As for the battires-included components, that’s tremendous value. The quality of the I18N and GIS solutions is pretty good, not to mention the documentation. Having them baked in encourages their use. This is in fact the reason I would still point to Django for Python newcomers. I’ll still maintain that Babel, SQLAlchemy, WTForm etc. are all superior to the Django counterparts : )

Interesting point of view. Things that come into the "what should we use to prototype" questions is what tools you know the best. For me I just grab whatever I know intricately, and today I know the supporting libraries around Flask well enough to never reach for Django (Flask-Admin for example, Flask-Babel is great too).

I use a Procfile.dev to launch a project. One of the processes is `brunch watch` for the frontend compiler. I guess I could launch another command to open some Chrome tabs. Good idea : )

iPhone 5, just now I took a screenshot to send friends on WhatsApp because the Instagram content I took a screenshot of might have been blocked (and it’s hard to get at the S3 url in the Instagram app).

In regards to templates we’ll have to agree to disagree. Jinja2 simply does more and more elegantly. Logic in data preparation may not be suitable for templates, but presentation logic feels right at home and is absolutely maintainable and elegant.

Django is a batteries included framework. You bring up a very good point with newbies having an easier time not having to research different forms libraries, database layers and whatnot. Documentation is beautiful and StackOverflow is filled to the brim with questions every newcomer will be presented with.

We’re using Flask for a very big project. Not sure the "minimal framework = minimal project, feature complete framework = big project" thing holds up. I will admit our requirements.txt is getting rather large for all the additional components we have to add that Flask doesn’t try to provide.

The plan was to integrate with an OS X and/or iPad editor, but this never happened. Sorry! If you really want this feature, the new Byline 2.0 has this baked in with support for many markdown blog platforms.

Add a comma after each line, except for the last line. Should look like this:
{
"author": "Palak Mathur",
"default_date_format": "%B %e, %Y",
"with_future_dates": false,
"clean_urls": true,
"default_pagination": 4
}
