01 / THE CAPABILITY
Server-rendered.
Multiplayer.
Yes, this is Django.
Snake Arena runs game state and rendering on the server. djust delivers updates to each player. No custom JavaScript—responsive enough for multiplayer gameplay.
Play with a friend. Feel what server-rendered Python can do.

THE HANDLER BEHIND THE BUTTON
Change Python state.
The interface follows.
# Inside toggle_issue(), after matching issue_id
self.demo_issues = [
{**row, "done": not row["done"]}
if row["id"] == issue_id else row
for row in self.demo_issues
]
Django template · the matching button
<button dj-click="toggle_issue"
data-issue-id="{{ issue.id }}"
dj-loading.disable>
{% if issue.done %}Reopen{% else %}Complete{% endif %}
</button>
The button sends an event. Python changes the issue. djust renders the template and patches what changed.
Build your first LiveView →03 / BUILT FOR AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT
Let AI build the product.
Give it a solid foundation.
Made for AI-assisted development, and built with it. djust keeps your agent working in Python and Django templates, with fewer frameworks and fewer layers to keep in agreement.
Django supplies the structure: models, forms, views, templates, and migrations. Separate your product into apps for accounts, billing, inventory, or any domain. Within each app, organize business logic in services and define the UI in templates. Give your agent conventions to follow and boundaries you can review.
Less synchronization.
Conventions help
your agent stay on track.
One Django project can contain many focused apps. Familiar structure makes generated changes easier to place, understand, and review.
Established foundations.
Framework guardrails.
Build on Django’s ORM, authentication, forms, and security protections. djust adds checks and diagnostics for interactive views.
AGENT TOOLSGive AI the actual API ↗
The MCP server exposes directives, view methods, project structure, and validation tools.
PROJECT CONTEXTInstructions from your project ↗Generate agent context from your views, handlers, routes, and djust conventions.
SCAFFOLDINGStart with the wiring in place ↗Create a Django project with djust configuration and WebSocket routing already connected.
04 / A FOUNDATION YOU CAN INSPECT
Your Django templates
come with you.
We’re preparing djust 1.2.0 with full Django template compatibility. Keep familiar template syntax while Rust handles rendering and DOM diffing.
Read the compatibility report ↗98.57%
1,032 of 1,047 tests passDjango 5.2.16’s official template tests that reach the engine. Recorded in the djust source.
What about the remaining 15?
They inspect Django’s Python node tree (8), loader-cache representation (5), or compiler metadata (2). These are documented internal API boundaries, not unsupported template syntax. All 15 remain counted in the score.
