I don't want to re-invent the wheel and I don't advocate dismissing
Django. Django is probably perfect for the prototype. It might also be
perfect for the final thing. But we don't know what database we're
gonna use in the end (which determines if the Django ORM still fits),
or if we'll use many HTML templates etc. If we end up not using many
of the things that make Django great, we might wanna think about if we
want to use it. And might still come to the conclusion that we do. All
I'm saying is: The environment for such an app could be a little
different to Postorius/HK, so let's spend some thought on it. Is this
such a bad idea?
