In my experience with Django the admin scaffolding saves a lot of work building UI for diagnostic and customer service workflows. Projects on other frameworks that I've been involved with end up rebuilding a lot of that stuff in their own codebase, more work and often not as good of a result. There are a lot of aspects of frameworks like Hyperflask that look attractive relative to Django but foregoing the admin framework is a high price to pay. Are there some alternate patterns other people are finding successful?
- emixam 1y agoThere is Flask-Admin but it's more bare bone than Django Admin. I plan to tackle the problem in the future.
- stuaxo 1y agoI thought the same but moving to fastapi the thing I missed most from Django is the applications that make up a django project. Having migrations, static files and templates for one aspect of a project all grouped together is so useful and I didn't realise until I didn't have it.
- waterproof 1y agoI often run my projects on Supabase and then the Supabase UI becomes a backstop where I can teach my admin users to do things if they really have to. That, or just use Airtable as a backend, if you can get away with it. Mostly I agree with you though, I got swept up with lots of "recent tools & frameworks" projects and I really miss the Django admin. Django+HTMX has always seemed like a tempting option.
