Show HN: Build your startup or side project faster with these SaaS templates
Avo is a great content management system for Rails. I'm a paying customer. https://avohq.io/
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.

But there's another alternative for Ruby on Rails. This is a shameless plug, but why don't you try Avo?

Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?
Nothing really beats Rails. Use something like Jumpstart (jumpstartrails.com) and Avo (https://avohq.io) and you scaffold a full consumer-ready app in literally a few hours.
The thing that bugs me the most with Next.JS and the whole JAMStack movement is that, yeah, you get from "git clone" to deployed on Vercel in two minutes, but if you need to create real app features like a sturdy admin, accounts, authorization, proper asset management, CI/CD, it takes a whole lotta time. I'm not even touching the most common app features.

Show HN: Refine v3.97 – Open-source React framework for building CRUD apps
Hey. I'm Adrian, author of Avo. Avo is similar to Refine but for Ruby on Rails.
It helps developers create CRUD-like applications such as internal tools, admin panels, Content Management Systems and user-facing apps.
I love seeing more and more movement in this space.

How to bundle assets in a Rails engine
One approach we had with avo-hq/avo was to precompile the assets before we publish a new version and serve them as static assets to the parent app.

Running Node.js on AWS serverless with Fargate
I didn't have a spare node app sitting around, so I found Forest Admin. This is actually a cool product which provides the simplicity of dashboard tools like ActiveAdmin or Retool, but preserves the privacy of the data by having you self-host the backend. The backend exposes an API that is used by the frontend client, i.e. your browser, so data doesn't need to move through Forest Admin's servers. Here's a nice graphic to visualize how this works:

Experiences with low-code systems (Budibase,Appsmith etc.)?
Disclaimer: I'm the founder of (Forest Admin)[https://www.forestadmin.com].
Wow, I'm impressed by the number of solutions out there. Back at the beginning of Forest Admin, we were alone on the market, which is generally not a good sign. But our perseverance paid off, and it was definitely worth it in the end!
Alright, so why Forest Admin? :)
Because we only focus on the admin panel use case. Not the entire internal tools world. In this way, we are able to provide a fully-featured SaaS Admin panel out of the box. No need to build it, nor with code, nor with low/no code tools.
Even if your app, internal processes and so your admin panel is specific, we have designed our solution accordingly with 2 things that are part of our DNA from the beginning:
1/ We generate all the backend code required to an admin panel. All CRUD routes, filtering & search, dashboarding, permissions, etc. Everything is automatically generated in a few seconds based on datasource introspection. In the end, the generated code is just a standard REST API, so you can extend/override it without any limitations.
2/ We pre-built the admin UI with every admin standard features available out of the box, with a big focus on providing a great UI/UX possible for operational people. We obviously also provide all the low/no code features to customize pretty much anything. We also provide a feature called "Workspace" (which is generally the core of what our competitors do) that allow users build custom views using drag'n'drop of UI components from scratch.

Ask HN: What's is your go to toolset for simple front end development?
For home-lab/internal UIs, you can go a long way with the auto-generated model-admin pages from Django. If you just need CRUD and actions triggered on a list of models, you can typically avoid any UI work and just define a few Admin classes, and if you need to make custom forms it's quite easy using Django's templating machinery to override individual pages.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/contrib/admin/
A similar modular admin system that's more generic is https://www.forestadmin.com/, I think this one has a layout editor too. But that one requires a REST API and so it may require more plumbing, depending on what you've already built. Or it could fit nicely on top of what you already have, if you already have APIs for everything.
