Last Update: 26.02.2009. By kerim in python

Rabid Ratings for Django

Last Update: 22.06.2008. By azarai in Javascript | django | python | snipplet | tools

It uses nice looking hearts and is a out of the box combo with ajax and a php backend. Yep there was my prob again, php. So i took a look at the php backend and decided to quickly port the main logic to my django app and make it available to the public.

Luckily Kerim joined and i don’t have to do it all by my own :-)
