Future changes to improve code quality and work productivity

Backend

• Apply type annotation for Python and MyPy checking. Benefit: It improves IDE autocomplete and detect some bugs early.
• Use Jinja for templating (replacing Django template). Benefit: We can embed Python function to template and call. With Django template, we have to define filter, custom tags.
• Use djlint to clean template code.

Frontend

• Get rid of jQuery code, convert them to Vue or AlpineJS.
• Consider two options:
  • Migrating to Single Page Application, where we can use full power of Vue and can apply TypeScript to improve IDE autocomplete and detect bugs early.
  • HTMX + AlpineJS if we still want Django to produce HTML.
