qdds 1.2.0

Quick Django Dev Server shortcut using your IP and port 8000

qdds

Quick Django Dev Server — start your local Django project with your IP exposed for LAN testing.

---

🚀 What is qdds?

qdds (devserver) is a small CLI tool that runs your Django project's dev server using your local network IP, making it accessible to other devices on your Wi-Fi. Great for testing on mobile or with a team.

---

🛠 Installation

pip install qdds

---

📦 Usage

Inside your Django project folder (where manage.py lives):

devserver

This is equivalent to:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

If a network IP is available, qdds will also open it in your browser automatically.

---

🔧 Options

You can run the regular Django dev server too (but qdds is a silly way to do it):

devserver --regular

---

🧪 Development

Clone and install in editable mode:

git clone https://github.com/benmcnelly/qdds.git
cd qdds
pip install -e .

Run tests:

pytest

💬 Why qdds?

Sometimes you just want to fire up Django on your LAN, show a teammate something on their phone, or test a layout in mobile Safari without thinking. qdds makes that effortless.
