    Hi, founders! We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way. Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface. If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components. We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to…

Like Heroku, Porter takes care of a lot of generic DevOps work for you (like setting up CI/CD, containerizing your applications, autoscaling, SSL certificates, setting up a reverse proxy) and lets you deploy your apps with a few clicks — saving you a lot of time while developing. However, as you probably know, there’s a downside: platforms like this become constraining if and when your app…

    Over the past year I’ve been building a set of operational panels for Django: - Redis inspection - cache visibility - Celery task introspection - URL discovery and testing All of these tools have been built inside the Django admin. Instead of jumping between tools like Flower, redis-cli, Swagger, or external services, I wanted something that sits where I’m already working. I’ve grouped these under a single umbrella: Django Control Room. The idea is pretty simple: the Django admin already gives you authentication, permissions, and a familiar interface. It can also act as an operational layer…
