Saved you a click (or three): Supercharging the Django admin with actions and views
summary
Shows concrete extensions that add fast admin features: live previews via readonly_fields + format_html, per-row buttons with django-admin-row-actions and django-object-actions, inline buttons with django-inline-actions, and nested editing with django-nested-admin. Demonstrates list_editable for bulk cleanups, action mixins using get_urls, AJAX-backed trending previews backed by a DRF viewset, and practical use of Django Reversion and locking. Examples use the Newshound sample app and several working snippets rather than vague promises.
