Alright folks, let's cut the crap. We know web dev can be a brutal grind. Django for the backend, SvelteKit for the frontend—sounds perfect, until you try to make them work together. Endless configs, dependencies throwing tantrums, and a heap of wasted nights.

Pain In The Ass? Let’s Fix It 🎯

We’ve all been there:

  • Backend Ready: Django's solid, backend is rolling.

  • Frontend Dream: SvelteKit is ready to dazzle.

  • Reality: Integration is a flaming dumpster fire. 🔥

Enter Django Svelte Template 🦸‍♂️

Screw the headaches. This template is your knight in shining armor. Pre-configured, smooth as butter. Clone it, run it, done.

🚀 Getting Shit Done

Clone the Repo

git clone git@github.com:Bishwas-py/django-svelte-template.git

Fire Up Django Backend

cd django_backend
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

python manage.py migrate
