A single file Django micro project created for demonstration purposes to be used in the same way as other Python frameworks.
I created this code while working on an improvement to Will Vincent's Django Microframewrok repository, which was itself inspired by Carlton Gibson's talk.
Starting from that demonstration code I thought of a Django micro application that could be used in the same way as a minimal application used in other Python frameworks such as Flask or FastAPI.
I presented this code during the first sprint day of DjangoCon US 2023, together with Will Vincent and seeing the appreciation I decided to publish it in this repository.
