Hey, Massimo, what've you got against cats? ;^) And Yarko says: """Your TG story is another thing, but the _fact_ remains (and I've had this private conversation quite recently with you) that solid, well designed, non-trivial, and commercially in-use applications written in web2py are.... what? not advertised? non-existent? """
I just announced my first app, which has been used commercially now for a few weeks and has made hundreds of paid-for reservations for the club "SPiN New York". Talk about high profile, SPiN has been mentioned in Conde Nast, People Magazine, Jimmy Fallon Late at Night, Good Morning America, etc. Go look at their website. Susan Sarandon is one of the backers. Not that she's very web saavy, but you can bet she's conscious of keeping her image clean. Which means, she doesn't want her website to crash. My web2py app was a ground-up implementation of a calendar-based reservations system which is every bit as sophisticated as Google calendar, with a GUI interface and a comprehensive api. It supports all the "gnarly" functionality that Google claims as a reason why you should use Google Cal and not build one yourself. (As a matter of fact, it was a little gnarly, especially with the repeat events, but web2py made it a lot easier to build IMO). Listen. I'm not asking for Google to tell everyone to use web2py. I'm just asking for Google to acknowledge web2py in the same breath as Django on their "what is GAE" page. They don't have to endorse it. Just say it works with GAE. For that matter, they should also mention other frameworks that work with GAE. As I said before, I think if the concensus here is that web2py works with GAE as well as Django does, then pull the trigger and let's start a petition to get some visibility and mention on the GAE page. I, for one, am 100% behind building commercial-grade, heavy-lifting, production websites in web2py. I may not be the world's most sophisticated web developer, but it sure does the trick for me. As such, I want to see it thrive so that my approach will survive. And to do such a petition takes almost no effort at all in the internet era. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
