#bl list project

[bafflinghaze]

In the past week, I've been trying to update the website project to django 5.2 ..... and now everything else is breaking 🥹🥹

In particular, there seems to be several incompatibility issues between django-components and everything else...

But unfortunately, updating the django version is important for security/support reasons 😔

I've been trying to get some basic search and filtering on the bl list website. It actually works, but it's very hacky underneath O_O

I'm pretty sure the proper way to do this is to create a formset and use django forms—I think I would need this to scale it properly and allow search/filter on all/most of the works metadata—but django forms are really confusing 😭😭

Successfully (???) move the BL website repo from Bitbucket to Github!! 🥳 This means I can easily add more volunteers >w<

tonight I just spent 2 hours fixing a bug (on which I had already spent several hours previously trying to fix)

...but now there is another bug and I don't even understand how it happened @_@

Coding takes time...Added tags and work synopses to the main 'catalogue' page.

It's been a while since I posted anything about the BL List project/website. You can see a bit of what we have now—noting that there's more under the hood.

The aim of the website is to list all the original English BL in an easy-to-search-and-filter location.

Unfortunately, we completely missed the original planned milestones...

If you're interested in helping (django backend, front end design and/or development, or anything else more generally), please don't hesitate to contact me 🥺🥺
