iommi

There's an example app too: https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/tree/master/examples I've had mixed success with Claude. It keeps adding too much display_names to everything for example which is annoying. In theory we could put that up, but I don't particularly want to maintain such a live example app and pay for hosting and all that, only to have it instantly crash under the load of HN :P

There is definitely room for the Phoenix Form helpers to do more. Iommi looks like a really interesting approach I hadn't seen before. For example AshAdmin (https://github.com/ash-project/ash_admin) takes these ideas further and generates a full super admin interface for you. It's a bit clunky and you should ultimately write your own admin, but it lets you focus on the important parts first. For anyone else who hasn't seen it Iommi's motivation and docs are here: Motivation https://kodare.net/2024/09/11/why-we-wrote-a-new-form-librar...

It's not really tied to manage.py no. And in any case that's a trivial 3 lines of code (plus imports, blank lines: https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/blob/master/examples/man...). I think you're overdramatizing 3 lines of code...

It's all about the tooling. I wrote my own for iommi where the html output of some code gets saved in a defined place, and then the finished documentation page embeds that html in an iframe. It's not only WAY WAY easier to maintain than a bunch of screenshots, but I found a ton of issues with the documentation after I made it so it runs all the examples and I can look at the output. example: https://docs.iommi.rocks/en/latest/cookbook_forms.html corresponding documentation/tests: https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/blob/master/docs/test_do... my evil hack to get this working: https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/blob/master/make_doc_rst... and https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/blob/master/iommi/docs.p...
