If you work with Django long enough, and at significant scale, you live long enough to b̶e̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶v̶i̶l̶l̶a̶i̶n̶ make hacky extensions to the admin.

I am hoping this work makes it easier for people to start extending the admin in a normalized way.


quarkus looks interesting, I'll have to check it out.

I think there is a strong case for officially expanding the django admin to other use cases. I suppose this is a topic for another time


thank you for the kind words. Hopefully you get to try it out.

Amazing. glad you're making use of dj-redis-panel. let me know if I can assist you.

Thats the spirit. I built this to unlock the django application from platforms in such a way

Thats an interesting idea. One of my next steps is to create a tutorial on how to make your own panel. I'll think on this.

They said your welcome

I think any large enough django project has toyed around with extending the admin in some way. Hopefully this project can help establish a standard to make this sort of thing easier.

Thank you.

I think its good advice to avoid the admin for customer facing use cases. But for internal facing tools It seems pretty wasteful to not use the built in admin - it has all the bells as whistles to build upon (auth, permissions, etc.)


I'm glad you feel that way. The django admin has saved my day many times.
