I wrote this package to provide model lifecycle hooks (similar to Rails callbacks) because I didn't like the frequency that my codebase was overriding __init__(): https://github.com/rsinger86/django-lifecycle

Django's ecosystem (mainly DRF and django-filters) makes it very productive for me, but I find Django core to be lacking for developer ergonomics in certain areas.

That's exactly what I was imagining. You can tell it's a nicely designed base class because the dunders are all tucked away so the only thing left is actual logic.
