+Rather than hand-build a Python admin panel, use Flask-Admin in Flask apps. Django has one built in, which Unfold restyles for dashboards and Grappelli reskins.
+
+How to choose:
+
+- A Flask app: Flask-Admin
+- Dashboards and a Tailwind CSS look on the Django admin: Unfold
+- A grid-based skin for the Django admin: Grappelli
+
+Flask-Admin [solves the boring problem](https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) of building an admin interface on top of an existing data model. Where the Django admin works from sensible defaults, Flask-Admin [leaves it to you](https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/#migrating-from-django) to tell it what to display and how. Register [a `ModelView` for each model](https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/introduction/#adding-model-views) with `admin.add_view()` to get its list, create, and edit views. To shape them, subclass `ModelView` and set attributes like `column_list` and `column_searchable_list`. It works with several ORMs and MongoDB, and if you don't know where to start, its docs point you to [SQLAlchemy](https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/#using-different-database-backends). For a page that isn't tied to a model, like analytics, extend [`BaseView`](https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/introduction/#standalone-views).
+
+Unfold is [a modern Django admin theme](https://unfoldadmin.com/) for building dashboards, internal tools, and business applications with Tailwind CSS. Put `"unfold"` [first in `INSTALLED_APPS`](https://unfoldadmin.com/docs/installation/quickstart/), before `django.contrib.admin`. Your admin URLs stay the same. Your admin classes then inherit from `unfold.admin.ModelAdmin`, since the default class gives you unstyled forms without Unfold's features. That includes the User and Group admins Django registers for you, which you [unregister and register again](https://unfoldadmin.com/docs/installation/auth/) with Unfold's class. Build [the dashboard](https://unfoldadmin.com/docs/configuration/dashboard/) by overriding the admin index template, fed with data from a callback.
+
+Grappelli is [a grid-based skin](https://django-grappelli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for the Django admin. Its FAQ says that [if you're pleased with how the original admin looks](https://django-grappelli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-should-i-use-grappelli), you probably shouldn't use it. Put `grappelli` before `django.contrib.admin` in `INSTALLED_APPS`, and [include its URLs](https://django-grappelli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#setup), which related lookups and autocompletes need. Its [customization examples](https://django-grappelli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customization.html) build on Django's own `admin.ModelAdmin` and inline classes. They add options for collapsible fieldsets, drag-and-drop inline sorting, and autocomplete lookups.
+
+An admin panel is for trusted users. Django's docs [limit the admin](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/contrib/admin/#overview) to an organization's internal management tool, not your whole front end. By default, it lets in only users with `is_staff` set. Unfold and Grappelli both run on it, so the same holds for them. When you need a process-centric interface instead of one built around tables and fields, write your own views. Flask-Admin leaves [keeping unwanted users out](https://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/introduction/#authorization-permissions) to you: override `is_accessible` on your admin views with your own login check.
+
+On Django, admin add-ons built for the stock look may not match a theme. Before you switch, check [Unfold's integrations](https://unfoldadmin.com/docs/) or [Grappelli's third-party list](https://django-grappelli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/thirdparty.html) for the ones you rely on.
