If that is the case - I would recommend looking into creating a single page app - with Django restframework on the backend if you want to continue with Django. For the frontend you will however be required to learn some sort of JS framework - however this doesn't have to be THAT bad. I personally like angular 5 - which is written in typescript - a javascript based language - that actually removes most of the pain. HOWEVER JS knowledge is good to have anyway....
There are other frameworks that don't require that much JS knowledge and Jason suggested GWT which sounds like it could be worth a shot, as long as it doesn't add to much complexity. The main reason for using that would be a large user base, so you can get help. The python transpiled JS versions don't really have the greatest user base :-) Regards, Andréas 2018-01-29 0:00 GMT+01:00 Mike Dewhirst <mi...@dewhirst.com.au>: > That seems unanimous :( > > Jani asked what problem I need to solve.
