• Views were initially implemented as FBV (Function Based Views), to then be (almost totally) converted to CBV (Class Based Views).
• A custom middleware has been implemented.
• Article pages load on click ('Click To Load'). (implemented with django pagination and Htmx)
• Article images are automatically cropped on upload (fixed aspect ratio). (implemented with the Pillow library)
• Environment variables are loaded from an .env file. (implemented with the dotenv module)
• Simple test_models have been implemented for the articles app, executable from the command line:

$ py manage.py test articles
