New JET ?

[Vadorequest]

I don't understand what means the message on the main page

We are proud to announce completely new Jet. Please check out Live Demo.
Developing of new features for Django Jet will be frozen, only critical bugs will be fixed

If there is a new version ongoing, where is the repo? Is it not open source? Is it gonna be a SaaS platform?

[SalahAdDin]

It is a SaaS platform.

[f1nality]

@Vadorequest its partly open source. new jet is now SPA and divided into 2 parts – backend part on your server and frontend part on jet side. the architecture is made so that your private data is secured, it is not going through our servers. this gives a lot of advantages, now jet can work with any languages and frameworks, not only Python + Django, also all users gain new features as soon we add them to jet and now we are free to any much more features because we are not dependant on django anymore. also we provide a lot of ways for customization, you can even integrate your own views into frontend written with any JS frameworks/libraries (React, Vue, Angular, etc.)

The backend part which is installed on your project is open source is it was for django jet, here is the new repository link:
https://github.com/jet-admin/jet-bridge

The frontend part is not open source, it is saas

Even it is saas – there is still free plan available

[Vadorequest]

Thank you for your detailed reply, I suggest to clarify the README, I knew Django Jet and wasn't expecting a SaaS platform to appear where it was only a Django plugin back then ;)

Looks awesomely good! 🚀

i try free use SaaS some time ago, but biggest problem what impossible use to local debug
too don't find how language change or how use any django admin tools

[f1nality]

@mmmcorpsvit you can use new jet even with your local webserver. Thats because Jet Admin is just frontend application that send requests to any api to get data (even local)

ок, but how use in this case offline debug when need strong security, or for offline? This is impossible.
Or how use custom admin parts... idea SaaS cool, but not perfect and have many black box parts? this is not compartible with Open Source logic( sad...

[f1nality]

@mmmcorpsvit I didn't get how offline debug is connected with security and what type of security do you mean. anyway new jet is secure, database bridge application (which has access to your data) is open source and is installed on your side. frontend part which is not open source is just an interface, it has no direct access to your data.

also about customizing, we did big work on this part. you can read about it here:
https://docs.jetadmin.io/overview/customizing

a lot of can be configured without coding just in frontend interface. when this is not enough you can still edit a lot, you can even write your own view on react/angular/vue/etc. and integrate it inside saas service.

so I don't see any drawbacks here

[mmmcorpsvit]

i try explain, for example we have based on money some system, many companies use internal LAN and think Internet access for restrict area (usual for work in Remote Desktop), this is typical for many companies? this is real example. So use New JET just will be impossible. So offline version just must be. Very sad what old Jet version dead(((

[f1nality]

@mmmcorpsvit using jet for closed lan network is possible with enterprise plan

I think the only way would be to create a fork of the project or switching to something like Django Suit.

[f1nality]

@edmenendez what's the sense of it? nothing changes for this repository

[edmenendez]

Nothing needs to change for this repository. Creating a fork would allow the community to better update the project and approve PRs and feature updates.

[f1nality]

@edmenendez GitHub has ability to add members of repository that can approve PRs and edit code. There is no need to add forks and confuse other developers.
