Introducing OctopusDash – a modern, open-source Django admin dashboard (now on PyPI!)
Can you say why someone might prefer OctopusDash over something like django-unfold ? It sounds like being standalone might be kind of a mixed thing... sure, it's a little easier to get things going, but it also makes it a lot more work to pick up future improvements to django.contrib.admin. Looking quickly at OctopusDash, it seems really nice. Good work, and congrats on the release! More on reddit.com

What is the purpose or a use-case of a Django admin?
When you develop an app, at some point you'll need an admin, or a support team, or a CSM team to perform some tasks. Instead of developing a ui for them, you can just use the Django admin panel and customize only what you need. It can save you a lot of time so that you can focus on your core business value.

r/django on Reddit: Introducing OctopusDash – a modern, open-source Django admin dashboard (now on PyPI!)
June 28, 2025 -

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on: OctopusDash — a brand-new, open-source Django admin dashboard built completely from scratch to replace (not just reskin) the standard Django admin.

Why I built it:

  • The default Django admin is great, but feels outdated

  • I wanted a better UI/UX, advanced filtering & search, and fine-grained permission control

  • And most importantly: true extensibility — plugin support, custom widgets, auto API generator (coming soon)

Highlights:

Modern UI powered by Tailwind CSS
Real-time dynamic filtering on related fields
Full-text search on custom fields
Fine-grained permissions (model-based & action-based)
Inline editing with formsets
Plugin & widget system coming soon!

All of this is built as a standalone Django app, so you don’t have to fight with or patch the default

Check it out on my GitHub repo

Looking for:

  • Feedback & suggestions

  • Contributors who enjoy Django internals, UI design, or docs

  • Stars if you find it useful → https://github.com/husseinnaeemsec/octopusdash

It’s still early days, but my goal is for OctopusDash to become a clean, flexible, modern alternative for Django devs who want more control and a better UX.

Thanks for reading — and happy to answer any questions here!
