Hi guys,
I noticed that django admin front-end code needs optimization and a bit
fresh look.
I’m front-end developer and here is list of improvements I would like to
add:
-
HTML/CSS code optimization:
-
Replace some images with native CSS3 rules where possible (rounded
corners, gradients, shadows) providing fallbacks.
-
Refactoring: clean messy code, replace tables with divs where it
semantically needs.
-
Make django admin mobile friendly (responsive design).
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design>
-
Use F <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design>ont Awesome
Icons (MIT lic <http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/>ense)
for all icons inside admin area.
-
Icon fonts allow to easily change size and style of the icon. This is
big advantage in terms of hdpi screens (like Retina) and easy admin theme
customization.
-
Comparing with small images approach font icons allow to optimize
server requests (currently django admin doesn’t have even image sprites
for
icons).
-
Color themes.
Main goals are:
-
Keep the same UI - users are used to see this admin as it is. So no any
Grapelli-like interface.
-
Add some UX improvements like optimize some components for touch devices
(increase some components to make them reachable for tap action).
-
Optimize code to look it modern in 2014.
I would like to discuss my suggestions with community. If you guys vote for
this changes I can personally work on this django admin update.
Thank you
Alex D.
