I haven't been around "X" much lately, but finally wrote something, so I figured I'd share with any of y'all who haven't transitioned away from this modern hellscape of a site/app.

Added a new widget to django-pint-field today which shows a table of conversions to each unit in unit_choices right in the form in addition to the selected magnitude and unit.

Ever tried to use htmx along with DataTables? There are two issues that trip new users up:
1. Getting dynamically-created content with "hx-" atributes to work.
2. Getting the table to update its contents when a form is submitted.

Hubby is on a Harry Potter marathon, and it got me thinking about the witches of American Horror Story, so I made this Mashup meme ๐

Sometimes open source is frustrating ๐
But this article by ๐willmcgugan@mastodon.social is a fantastic reminder of some of the reasons open source is also awesome as a learning resource and as a way to interact with the world.

The Pulse nightclub shooting was what finally pushed me to come out.
The realization that so many #lgbt folks taken during that shooting and in a myriad of other terrible events around the world would never be able to live out their livesโฆ social.jacklinke.com/@jack/1โฆ

Added a new TIL on extending django-grappelli's admin index to add a list of our tenants and links to their sites. It has already been super helpful in increasing our awareness/productivity in administering the site.
The same technique can be usedโฆ social.jacklinke.com/@jack/1โฆ

Anyone know? ๐ค
Is it possible to use mkdocstrings to pull in the docstrings of an external repo?
For instance, if you use github pages and want to use an organization type site instead of a project site, it requires creating an additional repoโฆ social.jacklinke.com/@jack/1โฆ
