Hello Andreas,

This issue bothers me too. For me, at the beginning it looks reasonable
to create two (or more) different apps, but sooner or later, I've
created a huge mess with too many dependencies between these apps. So,
sometimes I feel that separating whole application is not the best idea.
Obviously, there should be many lines of code which can/may/should be
shared (= reusable app), but I think that almost always I need to make
some customizations, add some 'custom logic' into views inside these
apps... I don't know how to grasp Django's architecture, I feel that I'm
missing something, that there should be something different than model &
view & template.

I've recently tried to read mentioned Two scoops of Django book, but it
doesn't help me with this. (Or I didn't spend too much time reading it).


Best regards,
Karol
