kaffy

I haven't used Elixir yet and mostly using flask in Python for work but I started with Django (and still think it's better than flask for most apps). If stuff like https://github.com/aesmail/kaffy (first thing I've found on google, never heard of it before) is on par with the Django admin, would you still use Django or Elixir and never look back?

Phoenix has Kaffy: https://github.com/aesmail/kaffy Super-simple to set up and it's been perfectly adequate for my app's needs so far. To answer OP's original question: Django Admin isn't a killer feature because the same kind of thing is available for most other Django-like frameworks, with the only difference being that it's usually a third party library rather than something built into the framework itself.

> Phoenix has no django admin. nuff said. Just curious, did you try Torch or Kaffy? https://github.com/mojotech/torch https://github.com/aesmail/kaffy For the ORM and auto-generated DB migrations, I actually prefer the Phoenix way. Ecto makes it much harder to trigger N+1 queries than the Django ORM, and in practice I find the explicit migrations make people actually think about what they're doing and what to index, so the schema is cleaner. But I could see why someone would prefer the Django way, and I'd be curious to see the same kind of system in Elixir.
