Day 17 Dev Notes

Did some more work on the mortgage tools app, with some form changes and tweaks to the scenario calculator. This was a good reminder of how Django forms work; it's been ages since I got down in the weeds with Django forms.

Recently I've just used crispy-forms to take care of the styling, but I took this opportunity to see how much work is involved in styling forms without the helper package. I think for a simple form like this with just 5 fields, it's not too bad. But crispy-forms is definitely the easier option.

I haven't yet published the mortgage app yet, but will do that next.
