Hi HN

I’ve built an open-source package called [django-admin-collaborator](https://github.com/Brktrlw/django-admin-collaborator).

It adds *real-time collaboration* to the Django Admin, powered by Channels + Redis.

Features: - Edit locking → no more overwriting each other’s changes - User presence → see who else is viewing/editing the same object - Built-in chat + “attention” system - Avatars and activity indicators - Auto-reconnect & sync

Requirements: - Django 3.2+ - Channels 3.0+ - Redis - Python 3.8+

Docs: [Read the Docs](https://django-admin-collaborator.readthedocs.io/) Demo: (link to GIF or short video, if available)

I built this to solve the pain of multiple admins editing the same object at the same time. Would love your feedback on whether this would be useful in your projects, and any ideas for improvements
