   Seems promising

   Avo definitely seems promising and polished. What is more, it's based on all the modern tech that's included within the latest (v7 as of now) version of Rails.

   Unfortunately, its licence is bit less permissive than one would expect. I.e. you can't use it in a commercial product without buying a license. Yes, there are both FREE and Pro version; however, if you are using it on a non-personal project you need to pay for it. That's not inherently bad, as it pays for the support and improvement of the product. Yet, it could be a deterrent for many.

   Something similar to what Sidekiq is doing seems more appropriate - a FREE (free free) and an Enterprise version. Then, you can use the FREE version in any sort of a project, and if the project picks up, you can buy the enterprise version and benefit from the extra features.

   🏁 Competitors: RailsAdmin, Active Admin

   👍 Pros:    Polished design|Modern architecture|Good docs

• Ask HN: Why aren't Django Admin style dashboards popular in other frameworks?

  Can you clarify what's the "tremendous value" you're getting out of the Django admin? At Heii On-Call https://heiioncall.com/ we are using Active Admin https://activeadmin.info/ for Ruby on Rails, which seems quite similar to the Django admin. In my experience, it's mostly useful as a fairly basic read-only view of what's in the database. In Rails, it's so easy to whip together a custom view that we tend to do... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Show HN: Build Ruby on Rails apps 10x faster – Avo

  Very neat! My first thought was that this was a competitor to https://bullettrain.co/. Looking into it a bit more, it seems more aimed at building admin panels than whole apps. I guess it competes against tools like https://activeadmin.info/? - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• From partials to ViewComponents: writing reusable front-end code in Rails

  We briefly considered migrating to a full-grown Rails admin interface, such as ActiveAdmin, RailsAdmin, Administrate or Avo. We especially liked Avo which is built on a very modern stack similar to ours (Tailwind + Hotwire + ViewComponents). In the end, we didn’t go this route as we found some of the options a bit too restrictive (even though Avo is very flexible) and we did not feel like trying to amend it to our... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Easiest way to build a CRUD app

  I second Rails. It's incredibly polished and has really good gems to speed up dev. ActiveAdmin is a great gem if you need to quickly make an admin dashboard. It was useful when I had a small consultancy. https://activeadmin.info/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Show HN: Build your startup or side project faster with these SaaS templates

  Quality is often much better with these kinds of templates and frameworks, because the creators often can make better default choices. For example, Avo (https://avohq.io) and Bullet Train (https://bullettrain.co/) are IMHO both much higher quality out of the box than what a typical intermediate Rails developer could accomplish in months of full time learning and coding. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
