Looks awesome. I'm a bit jealous Rails has this resource coming from the Django world (although I know django admin also great but has its limitations)


It is true...I personally regret choosing Django for a project, just because I was more familiar with Python. Libraries are hard to find, and best practices are hard to uncover.

Rails to this day can't be beat, and I don't even ruby that much.


Look into iommi (https://docs.iommi.rocks). It does similar things imo.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of iommi.


This looks amazing. I'll definitely be taking it for a spin; looks very full-featured. Might take me a bit to fully grok but looks powerful.

Thank you for developing this! I'll let you know how it goes and try to contribute where I can


This is really cool and I like the Tony Iommi take too. Did you pick the name because Iommi's accident and instrument align similarly with Django Reinhardt's?


Yes. And I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan so that lined up super nicely :P


I believe it's better than having nothing. I think there's a lot to be done in this space and having someone or a team working on it full time is the way to go.


Absolutely. I know there are some projects kind of like this, but right now they are lost in my bookmarks folder somewhere... I recall a couple of good admin dropin replacements, I think one or two even have a paid-model which I dig cause I'm more than willing to pay for django-specific code that will save me development time. Likewise, I know there's some good projects trying to do something similar to Avo, but again I've lost them in bookmarks and my google-fu isn't working to retrieve them.


If you can, buy their product or sponsor the project. The amount of work it goes into maintaining this kinds of products is quite high. Spread the love!


Yes its a shame django isn't as active as rails


Certain parts are and there is some encouraging development work going, e.g. Tetra (https://www.tetraframework.com/) - but yeah it can be sparse.
