I (help) maintain a few #Django packages such as django-debug-toolbar, html-sanitizer and others. I blog at https://406.ch/
Many small and companies are using #Django and not giving back enough or at all. Join us in contributing to the sustainability of Django!
Thank you 💚 for such a lovely response to Django’s 20th birthday! We received 63 new donations since, of which 12 are recurring 🫶

There’s only a few days left to meet our goal of 200 new donors with $20 or more – can you help us support #Django? #DjangoBirthday
