Ask HN: Recommendations for a web based CMS for Postgres?

3 pointsdanhab994y ago1 comments

Our team has a custom built CMS that is really painful to update. Every time we make the slightest change to the database we have to dig in and debug the thing, it's too distracting. I'm looking for a web based Content Management System solution for everyone on my team, including the non-programming marketing and admin teammates. We need the bare-bones feature set:

1. Each user can login with a username and pass

2. User can see all the tables in the database

3. User can edit each column of each row

4. Basic searching&filtering would be nice

It doesn't need to be pretty, but it's gotta be intuitive. Also I don't want to have to configure anything, just the username and password for postgres and it works.

I've already explored pgAdmin and pgweb but they were both too technical. I'm also kinda new to the corporate world so google isn't showing me ads for these kinds of things yet.

Thoughts?

I would use django for this as the built-in admin interface does the things you need, but also because I already know django.

But even if you don't already know it, I think you could still deliver in time - the docs are great, there are plenty of books about it, and a lot of online resources.
