I worked a bit on some ideas for a 2021 #calendar, raiding the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences #OEIS for inspiration.
Implemented the basic algorithm of one so far: the sum of all the parts of all the partitions of 43 into 9 primes is 2021. (There are 47 partitions, 2021 is the product of two adjacent #PrimeNumbers 43 * 47). Making it prettier is a task for later.

Getting into django and a bit of basic js, my understanding is that if I want to stick mostly to backend I ought to go with Vue js for frontend to keep things slick and simple. Thoughts?

Certainly the ideals of @gab.com are good -- freedom of speech etc. -- but the sad truth that it has become a safe haven for right-wing fundamentalism. This is in my opinion a profound issue. On the one hand everyone should be heard. I suppose the question is how tolerant should we be of intolerance?
