Is it time for a Django Admin rewrite? If so, how?


Django's built-in admin is powerful, but it's essentially a separate framework within Django and it's 20 years old.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to work with an admin interface that works like the rest of Django, built on generic CBVs, plugins, and view factories? Django-Admin2, was an attempt at doing just that and it was a fairly successful ptoject.

10 years later, after looking at reviving that project, I realized we needed a fresh approach: Meet Django-Admin-Deux: a proof-of-concept Django admin replacement where CRUD operations are just actions, knowledge transfers both ways, and everything feels like Django.
