iulia_,

Looking to build a simple on top of my search project for a nicer and eventually doing some & of user activity. Haven’t worked on this since uni when we used and sometimes a bit of . Anyone have any good insights / best practices / favorite reference for something like this?

hmatsuuchi,

@iulia_ I'm not terribly familiar with Flask, but you can't go wrong with Django! 🙂 If you're just looking to put your data on the web and make it browsable, I'm sure Django can handle it. I always find that the trickiest part is deployment, but there are plenty of guides out there that detail various approaches.

iulia_,

thank you both @hmatsuuchi and @CodenameTim for recommending Django!

I've mostly only done flask myself so I started playing with that for a quick start; but I will definitely try to put this into Django.

It's a really simple idea: take in a query, do the search with behind the scenes and get back results + historical searches.

@iulia_ @hmatsuuchi Oh, in that case, datasette might be better. See https://simonwillison.net/2022/May/4/datasette-lite/

@iulia_ I'm a big fan of Django. I can recommend Will Vincent's books https://learndjango.com/books/ as an in-depth learning resource for Django.

What works best will depend on your requirements and constraints though.
