What is Django CRM?
Django CRM spends a morning hardening itself against abusive input.
Django CRM is an open-source CRM whose first three tracked releases all landed on October 15. Each adds a guardrail: an upload size limit, a 200-ID cap on bulk update and delete, and RE2 for regex routing conditions to block catastrophic backtracking. None changes what users can do; all limit how the app can be overloaded.
What is Less Annoying CRM?
Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

Django CRM spends a morning hardening itself against abusive input.
◆ Current state
Django CRM is an open-source CRM whose first three tracked releases all landed on October 15. Each adds a guardrail: an upload size limit, a 200-ID cap on bulk update and delete, and RE2 for regex routing conditions to block catastrophic backtracking. None changes what users can do; all limit how the app can be overloaded.
◆ Where it's heading
The work points at resource exhaustion from inputs: large files, oversized bulk requests and pathological regexes. Three releases in under five hours from one contributor reads as a deliberate hardening pass rather than routine upkeep.
◆ Prediction
More limits on remaining input paths are the most likely next releases. With only three entries, all from one day, the feature roadmap is not visible.

◆ Current state
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.
◆ Where it's heading
The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.
◆ Prediction
More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.
