Just published the next post in my iOS 26 micro-apps series: Daily Quote Fetcher.

It’s a small app that explores background execution and notifications, but the real lesson is about working with system constraints instead of trying to outsmart them.

Django now includes a built-in Tasks framework for running code outside the HTTP request–response cycle.

This enables offloading work, such as sending emails or processing data, to background workers.

The framework provides task definition, validation, queuing, and result handling.

Django guarantees consistent behavior for creating and managing tasks, while the responsibility for running them continues to belong to external worker processes.

🚀 Wow, Django 6.0 has finally joined the background tasks party... with no workers! 🛠️ It's like bringing a car without wheels and calling it a transportation breakthrough. 🙄 Thanks, Django, for the API to nowhere!

A first look at Django's new background tasks

Django 6.0 introduces a built-in background tasks framework in `django.tasks`. But don't expect to phase out Celery, Huey or other preferred solutions just yet.

Do job silently

We depend more and more on data and on its computation. Think for a moment about how often we use computation and data processing. This aspect can’t be not reflected in the modern apps, especially mobile ones.

Also, I decided to schedule only one reminder (of the given kind) into the future for each habit and scheduled background task that should schedule the next ones if needed every 30 minutes. I don’t know what the best practice is here, tbh.

The problem with that is when the user doesn’t open the app for a day, I don’t have a way for scheduling the next reminder. I could use a background task for that, but there is no guarantee it’ll be run - thanks 🍎.
