Djangify - The Digital Business OS for Independent Professionals
"Built for businesses that turn expertise into digital products and services." One of the things I love most about AI is that it doesn't just help you write code. Sometimes it helps you think more clearly. I built Djangify between October 2025 and January 2026 using AI-assisted programming. Since then I've continued adding features almost every week. Until now, I've always described it as an ecommerce builder. That description made sense when the project started. But over the last few days I asked AI to analyse the entire project from the outside, almost like an independent consultant looking at a business they had never seen before. The original report focused heavily on the GitHub repository, which wasn't really what I was looking for. But hidden inside it was a simple observation that completely changed how I think about Djangify. It isn't an ecommerce builder anymore. When I stepped back and looked at what I'd actually built, I realised it now includes: • Website management • Blogging • Digital products • Customer accounts • Secure downloads • AI-powered tools • Programmatic SEO • Hosted interactive HTML applications • Progressive Web App support • Themes • Order bumps and one-time offers ...with Stripe Tax integration and service businesses coming next. At some point, without really noticing, I had stopped building software for selling digital products. I had started building software for running an independent digital business. That led to another conversation with AI. We explored positioning, messaging and who Djangify is really for and eventually we landed on something that immediately felt right. The Digital Business OS for Independent Professionals Built for businesses that turn expertise into digital products and services. That sentence describes Djangify better than "ecommerce builder" ever did. One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the last nine months is that AI is at its best when it's collaborative. AI didn't tell me what to build.

Google (and Friends) — This is what you should know about me!
Now that we have to think about our E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) digital footprint I set up a new tab called EEAT Profile. To make it incredibly easy for the algorithms and more importantly, all of you, to know exactly who I am, I’m putting my digital footprint right here in one place. I invite you to do the same. Who I Am & What I Do I am a digital entrepreneur and website developer specialising in building clean, high-performance web assets, Python/Django architectures, and turnkey starter eCommerce sites. I have been working online since 2009 starting with WordPress before retraining as a Software Developer. Verified credentials: Digital Marketing — DMI | Full-Stack Developer I use the handle @todianedev and my portfolio developer work is at https://todiane.com I run two things that look different on the surface but come from the same place. Djangify — an eCommerce platform I built myself for selling digital products. This group exists partly to raise its search profile while I use it to run the experiment. Examples of sites built on Djangify: selftalkeffect.com — A simple system for interrupting negative self-talk zestizm.com — For women who have spent years holding everything together and quietly lost the spark that once made life vivid. Inspirational Guidance is my personal growth brand and umbrella for everything I write. It exists from my working days as a Life Coach. I'm a certified coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and the creator of the PAUSE Framework. You can see my full coaching background and qualifications at dianecorriette.com. Inspirational Guidance is on: Pinterest — personal growth and intentional living content for women.
The Djangify AI Assistant is working
I have added an AI Assistant inside Djangify so that I can ask questions directly on the site. The AI Assistant will use any data available on my site if I use the words "my..." so if I say "How many of my blog posts need an SEO Meta Title added" it will be able to search through my site and tell me. That uses API tokens which costs extra but I have asked loads of questions while testing and only spent $1.50 so far. Eventually I will add all the Djangify documentation inside the site so if someone needs onboarding documentation it will be there. But as there are only a few of us right now it isn't necessary. I have already added the MCP Connector and improved on that. This one doesn't require any extra API tokens. You are using your existing Claude account and it can do work for you - fill things in, create potential blog content etc. All in draft mode so you can read and add your own voice to it of course https://www.skool.com/sell-digital-products-7402/connecting-claude-connector-to-djangify

Connecting Claude Connector to Djangify
I am just sharing something I started building last week ☺️ Claude connector You may (or may not) have heard recently that you can connect Claude to apps like Slack. You give Claude permissions and it can work on your behalf, answering questions and doing work moderators are doing. Connectors let Claude plug into other apps and services — so instead of just chatting, Claude can actually go look at (or act on) your real data in those apps. They're built on MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard Anthropic created so any AI app can talk to any service in a consistent way. Custom connectors — this is the Djangify-relevant bit Since Djangify isn't a pre-built connector in the directory, what I have done with Cowork is wiring up a custom MCP connector — pointing Claude at my Djangify infrastructure (database, admin API, provisioner, whatever you expose) so Cowork can query or act on it directly. Custom connectors can access anything: internal databases, REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, proprietary services, file systems — basically Claude connects to my own product. I will be making a video about it. This is the part where I switch to my screen. I have a new Yeti Microphone that is picking up every teeny tiny noise! Its great. I spent 4 hours with Chatty setting up the microphone, OBS for recording video and Divinci for editing.

If it's too good to be true - don't do it
There are so many different ways to build income from your business and over the years what I have found is that it's the quiet, boring and consistent ways that ultimately provide success. So many different techniques will come and go so find what works for you and just keep at it until it produces the outcome you want. Moving from one thing to another too quickly is what hampered my results. https://youtube.com/shorts/RJ25M2zqHOY?is=BkgbUhtDyf02FwzI
