Hi Roy, Thank you for your interest! Your background sounds great. I like Django too, but think it may be overkill for this particular project. Nothing is set in stone, though, and I appreciate suggestions on the tech stack we end up going with. A few other people have expressed interest too, so I will give it a few days and get back to everybody early next week. If you have any questions in the meantime, please let me know.
