Great! I think I’ll try implementing this in Django-http-compression, when I find the time

This got me thinking 💡
Django docs might be a perfect fit for this, since they’re built statically with Sphinx and the build sees the whole corpus, so you could train a shared dictionary from all the repeated HTML, templates, and structure 🗃️
With thousands of pages and many languages sharing the same layout, a per-language dictionary could squeeze responses even more once dictionary compression becomes easier to deploy ✅
Feels like a fun experiment for the Django ecosystem ⚗️
