There is currently almost no feedback for actions in the blue box on the right. We could use django.contrib.messages to show a little box in a corner, and fade it away one second after the page loads.

Before doing this it's probably best to update to Bootstrap 5 (the toast component had some changes between 4 and 5). The necessary changes are:

[ ] form-group was replaced by grid
[ ] card collapse could be replaced by accordion? check if it works
[ ] Navbars now require a container within
[ ] Renamed .ml- and .mr- to .ms- and .me-.
[ ] Data attributes for all JavaScript plugins are now namespaced
