Django-кнопка «Наверх»: подключить за минуту вместо очередного велосипеда

Кнопка «Наверх» — вещь настолько простая, что обычно её делают прямо в проекте: ссылка, немного CSS, пара строк JavaScript — готово.Для одной страницы это нормально. Но потом проект растёт. Появляется мобильная версия, cookie-баннер, чат в углу, требования к контрасту, строгий CSP. Где-то нужно добавить кнопку ещё и в Django Admin.

Берлин, 1927: танец на вулкане

Берлин, 1927-й год. Улицы сияют неоном, танцевальные залы забиты людьми, а писатели, художники, музыканты и режиссёры создают работы, которым предстоит войти в историю. Двадцатые вовсю ревут, до Великой Депрессии ещё два года, а НСДАП и Гитлер - маргиналы, далёкие от политического мейнстрима. Симптомы надвигающейся катастрофы уже видны, но Берлин не хочет их замечать. Он танцует на вулкане, не зная, сколько ещё времени осталось до извержения. Давайте посмотрим на это своими... Read more
