Working, but so boring.
For some of us it's nice to build needles stuff instead of using a better (but boring) solution ;)
I like the needles stuff, you like the mechanical 'easy' solution
I was wondering what was going on in their life that the alert sound from the washer and dryer weren't sufficient for the purpose. My GE dryer sings a happy "laundry's dry" song when it's finished.
The Spring one linked above is not really comparable to Django admin in my opinion. In particular it doesn’t integrate with your data model at all - it essentially just shows actuator endpoints.
Super-simple to set up and it's been perfectly adequate for my app's needs so far.
To answer OP's original question: Django Admin isn't a killer feature because the same kind of thing is available for most other Django-like frameworks, with the only difference being that it's usually a third party library rather than something built into the framework itself.
Being built into the framework is a big deal, though.
The problem with third-party libraries for this kind of thing is that there's no guarantee that they will be maintained in lockstep with the underlying framework.
What if they get abandoned? Or a new version of the framework comes out with new features but the third-party library takes months to add support for them?
I think this may be an aspect of Django that isn't appreciated nearly as much as it should be: batteries included means that the feature you depend on are guaranteed to be maintained and documented at the same pace as the rest of the framework.
A radio app in which you can make a schedule on what stream you listen at what time, so you can listen to programs you like off multiple radiostations without the switching interaction
Many radio stations issue their programs as individual podcasts these days, so I find I can use a podcast manager to get much of what you seem to be asking for.
I have set and forgotten it for a few things here and there, like making sure the photos I take on my phone are backed up and available on my laptop as soon as they're on the same network.
