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

Thanks. Part of the reason this exists is simply wanting to toy around with the entrypoints system

Thats an interesting way to frame it.

In my view. Building things with AI creates the need for common patterns and guardrails (i.e. frameworks) Then as these new apps become productionalized - tooling that fits your framework starts to become more important.

In that sense, AI increases the need for good patterns around observability. This project aims to make this a little easier to do for Django right from inside the framework as opposed to an external service.

Thanks. I hope you find it useful

I get your point

I think even if AI handles more of the CRUD side, you still need to understand what’s happening in the system once it’s running - this is where this project fits in.

To your point about framework use because of AI: As more applications are being built because of lowering barriers, I think it makes sense for full stack monolithic frameworks to be used more frequently.

>I think it makes sense for full stack monolithic frameworks to be used more frequently.

Why? I believe full stack frameworks solved a problem for human coders, not AI coders. In fact they are only a limitation for AI going between programming language and runtime.

Totally understand - I am a long time flower user for example, and I am familiar with having to harden that installation a bit.

What I'm aiming for here is slightly different - keeping everything inside Django so there are no extra services to run or configure or proxy. As long as you surface the admin somewhere, then that is the place to find your tooling (including celery monitoring)

There will always be room for both approaches. A lightweight proxy/redirect could be something to explore in the future.

That definitely makes sense. But as it stands it's more of a multi-tool than a toolbox. I'm definitely going to check it out though.

Ah, flower.

Useful but I always hit little holes in it, maybe next time I'll set an LLM on it and try and fix them.

I've built an official website for this project here: https://djangocontrolroom.com/

I think that explains some of the value for this project a bit better

Great project, Django admin totally needs some love! You rock!

Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree; The Django admin a great surface to stand up tooling

It’s the initial starting point, calm down.

I like the idea it can help for initial inspection and smell detection

Fair.

README and site were definitely optimized for speed over perfection. The panels themselves got a bit more attention.

Curious what you’d want to see improved on the docs/site side.

I mean docs are largely written for an LLM-in-a-harness. That’s how it goes! If the LLM bootstraps with the right understanding of the universe and knows how to quickly build specific context flavors… life is good.

toxic.

Do you have any actual critiques?

i have a blog a project list here:

https://yassi.dev

I've been working on several internal tools that act like extensions for the django admin.

- https://github.com/yassi/dj-redis-panel - https://github.com/yassi/dj-cache-panel

This week I'm taking a break from my next project in this series (celery related) to try to participate in game jam related to programming language creation:

- https://itch.io/jam/langjamgamejam

I encourage others to participate I e

Both of these are super cool. So many times in the past I could have used the redis one!!!
