Cindy Realtime
A forum for real-time lateral thinking puzzles, built with django-graphene, react and apollo-graphql.
Overview:
Cindy-Realtime日本語バーション (translated as Cindy-Realtime Japanese version) is a website designed for playing lateral thinking games. It has a Python Django backend and a Node.js frontend. The project is in maintenance mode and the latest website has been partially rewritten with a Rust-lang based backend and React frontend in separate repositories. Cindy-Realtime inherits its database from Cindy but has a completely different frontend. It includes features like WebSocket for real-time chat, React for a more convenient UI, and GraphQL & Relay for faster site loading. However, there are some drawbacks such as limited old browser support and inability to deploy on a single-thread PaaS.
Features:
- WebSocket for real-time chat-like application
- React for a more convenient UI and easier maintenance
- GraphQL & Relay for faster site loading

- Django
Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It follows the model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern, providing an extensive set of built-in tools and conventions to streamline the creation of robust and scalable web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Graphql
A website that uses GraphQL as a query language to manage data fetching and state management. This includes features such as a strongly typed schema, client-side caching, and declarative data fetching to streamline data management and optimize website performance.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
