I am testing djangify but running into issues:

djangify -d main/templates/main
INFO:Directory : main/templates/main
INFO:app_name  : None
INFO:Succeeded.. Generated Modified_Files/index.html in the directory passed.
INFO:Directory : main/templates/main
INFO:app_name  : None
INFO:Succeeded.. Generated Modified_Files/index.html in the directory passed.

The CSS and images are not showing (I'm getting HTTP 404 errors):

Any clue as to why it's not working?

It appears that Django cannot find your static files (CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.), hence all the 404 errors. Make sure that those directories and files exist (for example, /assets/vendor/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css)and that your system is configured to use static files in accordance with the Django documentation:

To add to the solution here, while creating Djangify, we thought that the choice of using the converted script should be left to the user thus, the modified files are generated inside the folder Modified_Files, you would need to copy-paste those files inside your templates/app_name folder for it to be consistent with the URLs and views.

Also in case, you want to put the static files inside some other folder then you can also specify that folder's name like so: -a <App Name> so that the static files' path is consistent.
