Ask HN: Why aren't Django Admin style dashboards popular in other frameworks?
Like most things, it's probably a combination of things.
The Django Admin existed before Django publicly existed. That meant that once anyone started using Django they knew that they should constrain their use of Django in certain ways so that the Django Admin would work with their usage. Features that would be added to Django would be built with the Django Admin in mind.
Many tools like Flask or FastAPI don't have an opinionated model layer like Django. Without that, you can't really create an admin interface programatically. People could be storing their data in any sort of fashion anywhere. How would one build an admin system for something like Flask or FastAPI where there's no convention around how people set up data access? A lot of frameworks out there don't tell you "access your data in this way" or "this is how users will be authenticated." Without those two things, it's hard to really create an admin system.
There are similar systems available for some frameworks, but since they aren't part of the core framework, they don't get the same attention. Someone creates it, but it doesn't have the kind of community buy-in that sustains it. One of the odd things about Django is that the admin system is under `django.contrib` which indicated that they didn't intend for it to be in the core of Django forever, but that's not really how `django.contrib` ended up. It continued to be a core part of Django maintained as part of the framework.
Like I said, there are admin dashboards available in other frameworks like RailsAdmin (https://github.com/railsadminteam/rails_admin) or Core Admin for .NET (https://github.com/edandersen/core-admin) and I'm sure there's more. However, both Rails and .NET provide most of what Django provides (and a lot more than most frameworks). Rails and .NET both have a default data access ORM that a majority of people using those frameworks tend to use. .NET has built-in authentication/authorization so the admin can work off that. Rails doesn't have auth, but RailsAdmin uses some plugins.

CRUD on many tables
If CRUD only is your goal, there are existing out of the box options such as this: https://github.com/edandersen/core-admin

How do .NET developers handle content creation?
There are projects in other languages/frameworks like .NET (https://github.com/edandersen/core-admin, https://github.com/serenity-is/Serenity), but nothing quite has the momentum that the Django admin has.

Django 5.0 Is Released
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.
- Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream?

For example some people don't know that there is kaffy which allows you to easily build admin interfaces for your Phoenix apps.

If Phoenix supported a admin view like Django, would that make it more popular?
I’ll be glad to get your feedback about Kaffy if you get a chance to try it.
