Hi, thanks for the tutorial, I've followed the previous ones and helped me a lot!
I want to specify some things:
1) I think you've an error in the password_reset_subject template, you created it with a .txt extension instead of .html. Or is there something I'm misunderstanding?
2) It would be awesome if you can create a tutorial about Custom User models, how to create them, how to use them, how to use email instead of username for authentication. I've had a lot of problems with that, I'm new in Django and still struggling.
3) Can you tell me please how did you learn Python+Django? I mean, resources, guidelines and topic plan or something. I used Free code camp tutorials, also a book called Django for Beginners, but I still feel that I just know a litttle bit, there are a lot of things that I've never read/heard about and I don't know if it is part of the process of learning or what. Anyway it feels frustrating.
Thanks again

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Glad I could help.

  1. It's not an error. The subject of the email can be created with a .txt extension as mentioned here in the doc

  2. I'll try to write about those topics. If you want a demo of authentication using email instead of username, you can find here. You can also contact me about the problems you have faced.

  3. Don't get frustrated. I know the feeling :) What worked for me is, once you know the basics, move to doing projects on your own without following a tutorial on youtube. Instead use Google, docs, StackOverflow and blogs to solve a problem during your project. Good luck!
