django-suit VS Summernote

View on GitHub

Here at Otto srl we (also) develop web applications, and we do that from scratch using the Django framework. We tend to use the Django admin application to provide access to data whenever possible. We used to adopt django-suit as admin application because it really looked nice. The problem is that django-suit was based on bootstrap 2 and even if darklow started developing a v2 based on bootstrap 4, such version never really come to life.

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.
