This was the old Django project that originally powered brysonsteck.xyz with Gunicorn before I realized three things:

1. I hate Python.
1. The design path I chose was pretty bulky; it took up a lot of unnecessary space.
1. The way I was creating the blogs and project pages made a static site generator look more appealing.

As a result, the [new static website](/projects/this-website) was born with Hugo!

### Features

* Automated install and database migration with `install.py`
* Creation of blogs and project pages with the [django-markdownfield](https://pypi.org/project/django-markdownfield/) package
* Cool FontAwesome icons
* Mobile friendliness with Bootstrap CSS
* Gruvbox sweetness
