I've built a fully functional web application with Django + htmx + Alpine.js

# About the stack

I often see questions on how feasible it is to build a modern platform with Django, htmx and alpine.js. However, it's hard to find examples that work. I've built this song suggestion platform for DJs with this stack. Very little jasvascript was written and everything else is just Django templates. I also use django channels for websockets and celery for tasks.

# What happens in the platform

When I have DJ gigs the worst part is people interrupting asking for songs. Especially when they are drunk. This platform solves the problem:
- Guests scan the QR code
- They can search for any song and listen to a short preview
- They can make song suggestions and add an email address if they want to be notified when the song is playing
- The DJ can track this requests in an easy to use page, without the need to play any of them. If the do play a song, they can simple mark it as played on the platform and the guests that added the email address will be notified
- The DJ now has some good insights about their audience: What are the most requested tracks? What about artists?
