I feel like I am missing something with the admin page

I've read up on the docs for customizing the admin page and I don't think that is enough. I would like to, for example, replace the product description field with my own editor. It doesn't seem that I am able to do that. I understand that I can put the editor in a different area like the product list page or in my own menu endpoint but it doesn't make sense to tell people that the add product button only does %90 of what you need to do to make a product now you have to go to this other area to finish up.

I've read a lot of people saying that you can clone the source of the admin page and make the changes I want, which is great!, I do that with the frontend and am happy writing my components into the frontend. But I haven't seen anything on how to do that since the admin page was moved out of its own repo and added as a npm plugin.

Honestly I'm probably wrong here and I just missed something in the docs but if anyone has anything on decoupling the admin page, in a non hacky way, from the backend I would appreciate it

I agree it's a little flaky and you wont' see any updates since v2 RC is coming in the following days (weeks).
The current v1 was moved to other branch and current develop branch is v2 I think
You can find the old admin in here; https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/tree/v1.x/packages/admin-ui
Maybe you can do something with it.

I'm not sure if it's better to wait for v2 admin or not. Remember that medusa v2 will be stable somewhere in the autumn.

Thanks for the response. I have plenty of work on the frontend before I need the backend. I will work for a bit. Worst comes to worst I will just make my own admin page
I will mark this as solved in a day or so to see if there is any more insight
