I am working on a framework that lets you easily create tools inside the Django Admin - https://djangocontrolroom.com

I've published several panels under this banner already (tools for redis, caches, celery, etc.); I am currently working on a base library layer for tools to inherit from and to make it easier to create new tools.

Essentially, the point of all of this is to make it so that you don't need so many external services; Instead, DCR provides self hosted alternatives. This in turn makes it a lot easier to build and productionalize something using Django.

Reception has been decent so far and I estimate several thousand current adopters (Its hard to estimate based on download numbers alone.) For May I will finalize a common design language, further formalize the plugin system and how it works, and likely release a new panel.
