After several years, released python-bidi 0.5, this time based on the Rust crate unicode-bidi.

This website was generated with a custom static generator, Recently I’ve converted it converted to Hugo.

django-bidi-utils is a small app I’ve written long time ago. It provides a Context Processor and a filter, helping with development of BiDi Django templates. As I’ve wanted a chance to play with Cookiecutter, it was a good chance to update things and release 1.0 along the way.

A couple of months ago I’ve wrote about missing RTL support for the new Disqus. That support has been implemented since then, with one little nagging translation issue remaining.

Old Disqus added the content to the page, thus allowing customization of the comments system, which is what I’ve done for proper Right-to-left layout. With the new Disqus that’s not an option any more.

Using Negative left or text-indent for hiding in CSS is problematic when the direction is rtl, there’s an alternative.
