waitress VS django-jazzmin

I have spent hours reviewing and testing ways of making waitress exit cleanly (like this and this) but the best I can do so far is a kind of suicidal SIGINT which makes Windows complain "the pipe has been ended" when stopping through the Services control panel, but at least it stops :-/ I guess the pythonservice.exe which pywin32 starts, should not terminate, just the waitress treads?

Waitress - for serving your application easily (pairs very well with Whitenoise).

If you’re delegating your load balancing to something else further up the stack and would prefer a simpler WSGI server than Gunicorn, Waitress is worth a look: https://github.com/pylons/waitress

There are also alternative admin themes (e.g. https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin) that you might like, which would replace the whole look and feel.

You could use Jazzmin > https://django-jazzmin.readthedocs.io/, or you could move the project to Wagtail. You get a lot out of the box with Wagtail but it could be overkill for your project.

You could add some style to the to the admin with this app https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin/blob/master/docs/index.md

Instead, if you are looking for an admin replacement you could give a look to django-jazzmin (I’m not the author), it is a recent package and even if there are many issues it seems to be maintained (for now).

This is pretty good. However, there was another one that's been around a bit longer that's also really nice. See here: https://github.com/farridav/django-jazzmin

Django Jazzmin

One of my Favorite ones is Django-Jazzmin which is a drop-in app with plenty of things you can easily customize, including a built-in UI customizer.

I've been using Django Jazzmin. It's got some nuances that I've had to work around but it looks a lot better than the plain admin interface. It's more mobile friendly too but, again, not perfect.
