Get Ye Flask

Around the time I launched this revision of steveasleep.com, I wrote a post called "Django on App Engine: Trying too hard?" Internally, I decided that the answer was yes, but Django on Google App Engine was the backend platform I was most familiar with, so that's what I used to make steveasleep.com. In the months since that post, app-engine-patch has been abandoned in favor of djangoappengine and django-nonrel.

Django was always too heavy for my tiny site, so I took this opportunity to port it to Flask. The new site is now live and on Github. The only noticeable differences will be performance-related (for the better). On the back end, everything is being stored as Markdown instead of HTML, which makes updates and migrations simpler.
