  • The Admin Framework for Minimalist
    3 projects | dev.to | 1 Nov 2022
    thoughtbot/administrate is a well-known framework for administrative screen, but it's not developer friendly。I implement my own template files for Administrate, so when new Administrate version released, It is hard to update Administrate because template file is changed.**

  • Show HN: Build Ruby on Rails apps 10x faster – Avo
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jun 2022
    This looks very similar to Administrate by thoughtbot https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate
  • From partials to ViewComponents: writing reusable front-end code in Rails
    11 projects | dev.to | 3 Jun 2022
    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 needs. For example, Avo renders forms in a 1-field-per-row layout while we wanted something more similar to the Tailwind UI Stacked form layout. Nevertheless, we found a great deal of inspiration in the Avo code and its design principles.

    Administrate
  • 10 things I add to every Rails app
    9 projects | dev.to | 2 Oct 2021
    I usually tend to create these from Scratch, but moving forward I’ve started to use thoughtbot’s administrate gem. It sticks to the Rails conventions of controllers and routing, so it’s easy to customise and add new functionality to.

  • The Ascent of Node.js: How a runtime changed the Web

    If Node.js was the hero, then NPM (Node Package Manager) was its trusty sidekick. Born out of a need for sharing and reusing code, NPM did to Node.js what RubyGems did for Ruby. It was more than just a package manager; it was an enabler. With ease, developers could pull in a myriad of libraries or 'packages' to augment their apps.
