Like I said. Examples not docs

Are the demo servers a good enough example? https://www.traccar.org/demo-server/

Id have to register my own account with my personal data and connect my private phone to send my location to a server i know nothing about. Lets not.

At that level of paranoia, why dont you just self host.

I don't specifically distrust the code. I dont know where my data on that hosted service ends up since its rather private information. So self hosting is an option if i can see a demo without providing my personal data.

No legal power :)

As opposed to their soft power, which is also non-existent?

Because nobody ever got murdered or abducted in a safe country by a dictatorial regime :)

I mean...

How else do you expect to test something? You either install it on your own server, and send your private data to your private server, or you use a public server and give them data.... what third option do you expect?

A demo with fake data allowing you to explore the product. This is actually very common in both opensource and in the commercial sector

Is this one better?

My understanding is zdharma removed their github account, then the name got squatted by the z-shell people.

So probably not.

Cool! Also, there's a zsh wrapper for nvm:

I know one of the co-creators (Simon W) is quite active on HN :)

Adrian and I co-created Django while I was working at LJW in a "year in industry" program from my UK university - which got me a student visa, so you could call it an "internship" but it was paid and 11 months long.

Jacob joined shortly before I left, then Adrian and Jacob turned Django from a closed-source newspaper CMS project into open source Django. I think they deserve way more credit for the framework than I do, they made it open source and were co-BDFLs for the next decade of development.

I'll still take the co-creator credit though, because Adrian and I designed, built and sometimes even pair-programmed the core of the framework - request/response objects, view functions, template system - together during my year at the LJW.

If you're interested in more details I told a bunch of the story in this talk: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/13/django-birthday/ - and more in this Fireside Chat interview at PyCon AU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E_UqhFmJQs

Hey Simon and everyone else.

I was write to be downvoted. Apologies for getting it wrong. I started using Django in 2008, and Simon's influence was very apparent at that point - my comment was not meant to belittle his contributions (I also follow him on Mastodon - big fan of his comments on HN and there).

I guess my memory was just wrong. I knew Jacob was hired after Adrian - but I thought they both started Django after Jacob joined, and Simon was an early intern. I had the ordering totally wrong.

Wikipedia says Jacob was hired shortly before Simon's internship ended though. Not sure why you are trying to imply that Simon wasn't a co-creator.

This sounds like the Musk rule of company founding

You have silly rules.

simonw co-created Django. It's a fact. You don't have to like it.

Django was developed by Adrian and Simon, and the django site was created by Wilson Miner.

Jacob joined a little later but I think of him as a co-creator as he worked on Django substantially prior to the initial open source release, then acted as co-BDFL with Adrian for the next decade.

Cool stuff, how does it compare with httpYac? > https://httpyac.github.io/

Not sure, I haven't used it!
