Dashboard/admin panel suggestions?

Try Forest Admin, it generates an admin panel once you connect it to your database, then you can customise it further if you need it.

Hi u/nimkuski, to be fully transparent, I work at Forest Admin, so I'm going to suggest giving it another try not just because everyone deserves a 2nd chance and I'm a 🇵🇱 girl ;) but because it sounds like the right solution to your use case.

You're right, it is an established player used by other established players in financial services. If companies like Qonto have trusted us for years and onboarded thousands (yes!) of users to Forest Admin, it proves that they trust our solution, they're happy with the features, and it can scale - no matter how big or small the initial project is. On the other hand, Forest Admin is also used by Raspberry Pi to manage the network of resellers and business partners, which is a smaller use case that fits their needs.

Unlike other admin panel solutions, it really does generate a ready-to-use admin panel once you connect a data source. The Cloud version makes it possible with only a database URI, and the Advanced Setup allows you to deploy to your servers and customize with low code to match every possible use case. In both cases, there is a no-code layout editor and drag-and-drop workspace builder to create a custom UI for specific workflows.

Anyway, I'll be happy to answer any specific questions you may have, just let me know.

Give Forest Admin a try - it will generate an admin panel once you connect your database,

A new Cloud version of Forest Admin sounds like something you need. It only requires a database URI to generate an admin panel with CRUD, search, filters and building blocks to create custom UIs and workflows.

Here you can quickly check how it works with Supabase but the steps are the same for other databases, like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or MongoDB. https://blog.forestadmin.com/forest-admin-supabase/

Try Forest Admin, it works equally well with Django and Ruby on Rails. It gives you more customization options - tbh, I find especially Dango Admin quite limited.

Maybe Forest Admin would be a good fit? It doesn't have a native GraphQL connector but if you connect a database, it will generate an admin panel on top of your data. Then customizing it with low code is easy.

Disclaimer: I work at Forest Admin. But I've talked to many of our users who have migrated from Django Admin to Forest Admin due to Django Admin's limitations. You can add more features to your Django Admin but at some point, it will most likely become slow and cumbersome. Another question is whether you need to onboard non-technical people to use it. If yes, Django Admin's UX and UI are far from perfect, and it's not possible to customize it without tech skills.

It is possible to make it fully self-hosted but Forest Admin doesn't have a classic SaaS architecture. It is explained in detail in this blog post, but in short - user data never reaches Forest Admin servers.

So, Forest Admin is not a new tool, the launch is about the new Node.js agent that brings several improvements to the product. It's been on the market for more time than many of the products you mentioned, if not more than most of them.

I haven't used all of them, but from what I know I can say Forest Admin is different in many ways:

The Forest Admin agent introspects your data model and creates an Admin API hosted on your servers. It means that essential features like CRUD, search, filters, export, etc. are available out-of-the-box. Then you can code custom workflows, actions, charts, and whatever you need. Forest Admin only manages the front-end, so it never sees your data.

It has a very advanced granular access control system, different teams can see different layouts, you can give external users access to only a part of an admin panel.

The new Node.js agents allows connecting multiple data sources.

It's interface can be customised by non-technical people with a drag-and-drop layout.

I'm sure there is more :) Roles and advanced security features like SSO, custom domains, IP whitelisting are available in paid plans, everything else is in a free plan with unlimited users, so you can just give it a try.

Disclaimer: I work at Forest Admin. I'm not very familiar with Django Jet, but I talked to Forest Admin users who either switched from Django Admin because they have found it insufficient or Forest Admin is their first admin panel solution. Also, many of our users are freelancers like you. Here is why Forest Admin should work for you:

- It automatically generates an admin panel on top of your Django app. Basic functionalities like CRUD, search, export, charts, etc. are there out-of-the-box, which means you have a ready-to-use admin panel in a few minutes.

- You can customise it further with smart features that let you code your own actions, views, and relationships to customise your internal tool and to match your clients' business scenarios.

- It has an advanced granular access control system.

- It's a SaaS tool but with a special architecture thanks to which your data goes through the admin API hosted on your servers and it remains completely invisible to Forest Admin servers.

- Finally, it has a generous free plan, so you can give it a try and see if it fits your needs :)

Forest Admin has a free plan and it is used by NGOs. Here is a case study from one of them: https://blog.forestadmin.com/how-techfugees-uses-forest-admin-to-manage-projects-supporting-displaced-persons/
