Looks like a fun project!

How do you like working with Django? I used it for a small project earlier this year and was impressed with how quickly I was able to get it up and running. I've used Rails for years, but I found that the various bits of Django I used were more discoverable and easier to understand.

Oh, I love Django. However I don't know Ruby or haven't built anything with RoR, so I can't really comment on that.

Django is opinionated and comes with lots of goodies to get started quickly.

The app is very simple and has limited features:

- User signup (with invite code)

- Messaging and secret/sneaky messaging (with email notifications)

- Gallery

- Admin features - Drawing names, Sending mass emails
