django-import-export VS Summernote

django-import-export provides a sophisticated framework for importing data. Good if you need to do this on a regular basis and need to do some work on the data before writing to the database.

The Django Import Export package was good except for one issue: it requires describing a "resource" directly in the code, and it doesn't allow to import of arbitrary files.

Summernote

We use Summernote which is fine, there can be bugs with our integration but that is more down to our hacking around with it than the actual software.

These past days I tried Action Text for the first time and got a bit disappointed with it, in the end I ended up using Summernote (https://summernote.org/) instead, here are my thoughts on what could be improved:

You can fairly easily add the ability to edit the text using something like https://summernote.org/ This one is for bootstrap, but there are others that are pretty good. (there's another one I've used before but I can't think of the name... thought it started with an "L".)

I still need to add some dolls, but add the events list, the event details are incomplete but it is easy to edit although the data is saved in a database (mongodb) it is created with https://summernote.org, which works like word, but transforms the content to html.
