Ask HN: Who Did Separate a Django's Front End?

1 points by Fazel94 ↗ HN
I need some advice and general thoughts on how to move my Django monolith's front-end to a front-end library. Is it a good thing in of itself? How should I approach it? How did you approach it? What did you learn from doing it?
