> In terms of the admin I think that the days of writing admin grid and edit screens that post back and forth to the server are numbered (I use REST and Angular now) - so that's not a bit of Django I use either.
My feeling too. Are there any projects which are starting to create the boilerplate for this? I'm new to Angular, so looking for where to get started...
Not that I've seen - I'm building a specific admin interface for one of my projects at the moment using this style (but I'm not making it generic). Architecturally the REST api is on one domain, the admin system is static angular on another domain and the front of the site (/sites - 15,000 of them) is a thin layer that makes calls back to the api.
It should be possible to build a completely generic frontend that just has a grid view and an edit view that you could wire to any REST backend. Then you could use flask-restful or Django Rest Framework or whatever else you wanted.
