Hi everyone, just released a new video tutorial 🙂
Hacker News is a very cool community. It's where all the coolest new things are being shared. Have you ever thought about building your own version of the site?
In this Django tutorial I will show you how to build a simple Hacker News clone using Django 3. I will begin by setting up a virtual environment to work in and then build the project piece by piece.
I hope this sounds like an exciting project to build. You should be able to follow along this video, even if you're a beginner. I try to explain everything I do, but if you have a question or you're stuck, feel free to leave a comment below 🙂

Hey I watched your twitter video! The way you manage your Django apps is good but it is something that I’ve seen only you follow!
I’ve watched a lot of tutorials but no one uses that structure! Also it makes it a little hard to follow along!
