Introduction
The main plan was to develop a COVID-19 tracker in Django that shows local data in the Philippines - until the Department o...

quick markdown/DEV tip, make sure you put the language of your code next to your code block.
Hi, what's the use of putting the language at the top?
It is what enables syntax hilighting
Isn't it highlighted already before you gave the tip?
Your article does not look highlighted to me.
That's weird. Check out all the code blocks on all the themes on the photos below:
Hey Vicente! Thanks for sharing and this looks pretty cool. I was wondering if you ever considered using a realtime stream of COVID updates to build an event-driven application instead of relying on polling an API for data updates? I wrote a blog post about it here dev.to/tweettamimi/how-i-used-covi... let me know if you're interested to collab 🙌
Hey Tamimi, what I actually have in mind is, since someone from the Philippines is taking down notes on where the budget for COVID is going, I'm planning on adding the said data on the site. But it's still on planning stage tho.
Awesome blog post! I'm actually still a novice in Django but I'm in. I could learn a thing or two from you anyways.
Sounds good! Have you done any front end development with python as a backend (i.e. using Django)? We can start with the code snippet in my blodpost as the event-driven skeleton receiving updates from any of the data sources. Subscription to topics could be as easy as subscribing to
"jhu/csse/covid19/test/cases/+/update/Philippines/#"for example to get all cases updates from the Philippines. It'll be a cool exploration of using Python/Django and messaging protocol mqttLet's speak in the chat 😄
Such a great community project!! Thanks for sharing!
Good job
I was part of the DICT team that planned to develop our local tracker but they used Java and Angular hence deciding to make my own.
Thank you.
