Wagtail Live: bringing a live blogging tool to the Django ecosystem
summary
Claims that one can build and run within 30 minutes are backed by concrete steps: install Wagtail Live, map a Slack or Telegram channel to a Wagtail Page, and add a publisher template. The demo wires Slack and Telegram receivers via ngrok, stores posts as StreamField entries, and shows posting, editing and (Slack) deletions reflected; Telegram lacks delete events so deletions don’t propagate. Publishers tested include Starlette websocket publisher (with Redis event bus) and long‑polling; the web app receiver works but needs auth and styling.
