As you may have learnt from my previous posts (blog post and fedi posts), I'm
writing a client for [lotide][lotide] named [Luna][luna].  And you
might also have seen me saying it's using Django as framework and my remark on
it being unfitting.  I am going to elaborate more on this in this post.

- Django: full-fledged, multi-app web project (view, model, db migration)
- Luna: just a frontend (just the view part)
- overhead (a lot of setting)
- origin: trying out stuff
  - try out golang
    - golang internationalization support feels lacking
  - back to flask/quart for [Yue][yue], since Jinja supports internationalization well
    - can use it for back end of another app (pandict).
