• Ask HN: Why aren't Django Admin style dashboards popular in other frameworks?

  Like most things, it's probably a combination of things. The Django Admin existed before Django publicly existed. That meant that once anyone started using Django they knew that they should constrain their use of Django in certain ways so that the Django Admin would work with their usage.
