Django AdminTools has been' updated since 2021. Is there an alternative that you use?

+1 on ActiveAdmin. We recently switched from Rails to Django and AA is something I'm severely missing. The DSL is terrribbblee but once you learn it, omg so fast to do anything.

Just stick appsmith, budibase or any of the other low code admin interfaces in front of your database.

I really looked into appsmith because of how cool the look, but one key problem I have is we're fintech so auditing objects is critical.

Appsmith has its own logging system and our Django app will also have one through django-simple-history. Reconciling the two will be super annoying. Rollbacks for user edited objects will be effectively impossible w/o a separate system.

Auditing who's accessed/used the admin?

I haven't used Django in around 3 years, but I recall seeing very verbose tooling when I was learning it

edit: the default provided admin tools. I didn't know if it was called AdminTools or whatever.
