And the thing that a lot here are missing is the integration aspect. If you have team members who aren't coders, they can still participate with the drag-and-drop UI builder. Anvil is definitely on the right track here, I'm not a fan of drag-and-drop UI builders, but can definitely see how useful it would be for a product person on my team being able to jump in and make changes to the UI without needing to tap me on the shoulder. That being said, I'd prefer a code-based representation of the UI and didn't see anything like that -- would be interested in knowing if I can build UIs via code alone.

Wish Django had a mature integrated client-side UI toolkit like this, I'm amazed given how advanced django.contrib.admin is that the Django team hasn't already generalized much of the admin components. If anyone is aware of something like this already let me know, with React eating the world it looks like DRF + React is the only way to go these days..
