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.

From partials to ViewComponents: writing reusable front-end code in Rails
We briefly considered migrating to a full-grown Rails admin interface, such as ActiveAdmin, RailsAdmin, Administrate or Avo. We especially liked Avo which is built on a very modern stack similar to ours (Tailwind + Hotwire + ViewComponents). In the end, we didn’t go this route as we found some of the options a bit too restrictive (even though Avo is very flexible) and we did not feel like trying to amend it to our needs. For example, Avo renders forms in a 1-field-per-row layout while we wanted something more similar to the Tailwind UI Stacked form layout. Nevertheless, we found a great deal of inspiration in the Avo code and its design principles.

🤷♀️ The easiest way to monitor your app in production is email?
It's really helpful to have a way to track what's going on with your application in production, things like: number of user sign ups, status of user accounts, number of X new database entries etc. Out of the box dashboards like Rails Admin are great but only go so far, eventually you will want significant customizations.

An Easy Admin Panel - Rails 6
Having an admin panel in your Rails application is honestly, to me, the best thing to do when it comes to keeping track of your users and giving them permissions. Finding out how to have an admin panel though, that was tough, mainly because I wasn’t searching for the right thing. The rails_admin gem, so simple but can control so much! The installation and usage is very simple depending on what you are trying to use it on. I should probably tell you, I am using devise with the user having a boolean attribute called admin.

Ask HN: What is an easy way to create web UIs as a back end dev/data scientist?
Check out Retool: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/1564
A wswig for internal UI/dashboards has a lot of value for companies that don't have a dedicated internal tools team.
My company had an internal tools teams at one point but it got killed because of other business priorities.
We use https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin, that still requires development time and frontend knowledge, but the framework is terrible.
https://marmelab.com/react-admin/ is much better but also required development time and frontend knowledge.

Is sleep precise enough?
There are multiple ways to achieve this. Probably the simplest and most reliable is to rely on cron to run your process every minute. Cron keeps track of time and executes your script each minute. This has the added benefit of avoiding a long running process (which can have its own issues). You can even have your script install it’s own cron job using the Whenever gem.

🤷♀️ The easiest way to monitor your app in production is email?
Rake tasks can be called from Cron, so we'll use the Whenever Gem to automatically add our job to our Crontab during deployment, and keep our schedule in change control.

There are some good answers here that explain what cron is, but you might want to look at the whenever gem for managing cron jobs. This lets you define cron jobs in Ruby instead of dealing directly with your crontab file.
