What is this media syncing you speak of?

For those of you new to the project, mediasync is a Django app that manages static media in both development and production. Imagine a project where you have to make updates to existing media, but all references are hardcoded to some absolute path in production. Do you update the production media and risk breaking the site or do you temporarily point to local media and hope you don't forget to revert the change?

With mediasync you don't need to worry about any of that. Paths to media are automatically generated: local in debug, remote in production, and manually overridden when needed. Modify your media in your local development environment then use mediasync to push the change to the remote production server. Reduce stress and add years to your life!
