Anyone have experience with django-extra-views, positive or negative?
https://github.com/AndrewIngram/django-extra-views
For inline editing of #Django model instances related to a parent model (using a foreign key), one could use the InlineFormSetView…

… but are there alternative approaches you’d recommend instead?

@justin@ramble.space I’ve used them. They’re OK. But more structure than you really want, normally. (You want to flex and you have to go digging all over for right place to adjust.) You can do the same pattern no problem. Submit a parent form and an inline form set. Process if both are valid. (Or have two endpoints and a smattering of HTMX.)
