Then as you make changes or create new apps, create migrations including reverse migrations. data migrations.
Always follow PEP8; make use of add ons for your editor to automatically validate.

myapp.get_articles() and not myapp.getArticles()

Keep business logic in models and if necessary in forms, but not in views.
