Python, Django, Nginx, Gunicorn, Postgres, Ubuntu, jQuery, Bootstrap, Angular when I need it.

I'm working on a side project website and currently using all above except for Angular.

jquery been enough to do basic ajax form post, update some data, but I'm looking to do more dynamic pages using a simple library, I don't need a complete replacement for django templates, just a supplement

have you tried vanillajs or vue.js

I haven't. I like Angular because it's easy to integrate with DRF and the templating language is very similar to Django's, so it was fast for me to pick up. This is v1. I haven't tried Angular v2 though. I tend to stay away from JS as much as possible and my JS files rarely exceed 100 lines. But I think you should use whatever makes sense to you. Our stack has been really good to us. All those things just keep running. And supervisord keeps the Gunicorn workers up so can't be happier.

Have used Vue with Django before. Tried React first, but opted for Vue. It's a breathe of fresh air :)
