In hindsight, maybe I should've tried to use Django for my previous project instead of build a lot of custom stuff in Go and React. It was basically an admin interface, but with dozens of models and hundreds if not thousands of individual fields, each with their own validation / constraints. But it was for internal users, so visually it mainly needed to be clear.

I've lobbied to replace our internal tool with a django admin panel. I prototyped it and it showed that it would reduce our code by > 15k lines.

Any internal webapps I need to build like this will 100% be set up with django in the future due to this. I don't need it to be pretty, I just want the UI, database migrations, users, roles, groups, etc for free

    It's so easy to add bits to the admin as you need them.

    I wish building the frontend of a Django app was as easy as the admin (though Wagtail can get close and HTMX).
