Thinking of doing an offer on the newsletter: you send me proof you sponsor open source, I’ll give you a free subscription 🤔

https://buttondown.email/carlton

Update: OK, that's on. Subscribe. Send me the weakest screenshot. That'll do. If it's $5 I'll give you three months. If it's loads, I'll give you a year. (Loose terms. No stress.)

@buttondown Hiya 👋 Any chance you could localise the date in the app UI. I'm in Europe and this whole 5/31 thing is killing me. I promise, Django does it for you if you just tweak the incantation. Thanks 😘

> Custom tags may now set extra data on the Parser object that will later be made available on the Template instance. Such data may be used, for example, by the template loader, or other template clients.

That looks handy, at least partially 😜
