## What it is
Unfold is a modern Django admin theme and toolkit built on top of django.contrib.admin, providing a Tailwind CSS-based interface with dark mode, sidebar navigation, advanced filters, and dashboard components. It enhances the default Django admin without replacing it, enabling incremental adoption in existing projects.

## Use cases
- modernize the django admin interface
- build internal tools and backoffice apps with django
- add dark mode to django admin
- create custom dashboards in django admin
- add advanced filters to django changelist
- style django admin with tailwind css
- add sidebar navigation with icons to django admin

## When to choose
- you use Django admin and want a modern, responsive UI without replacing it
- you need dashboards, advanced filters, or a component library inside the admin
- you want incremental adoption in an existing Django project

## When to avoid
- you don't use Django or its admin
- you need a fully custom frontend framework rather than an admin theme
- you require a design system outside Tailwind CSS
