gqlgen-pg-todo-example VS Motor Admin

I've been waiting for a (popular) low-code movement to hit the backend. Right now we still seem to start every project with - auth,connections,server, etc..

Something like https://github.com/oshalygin/gqlgen-pg-todo-example but easier and more tied into everything already.

Effectively instead of hand coding up the stack, there would be this server that you install and you get auth (implying a user model), GQL, and all you have to do is make the database and define a special file that tells the DB what is viewable or restricted and how that connects to the user.

The package would be 100% open source but would have like modules you could enable to connect it to auth0 or use a pre-created schema.

That's the stuff that should have been turned to low code by now and I still don't see much progress.

Tangential: MotorAdmin is a pretty reasonable, mountable, Rails-based option.

I'm using it to pack BrowserUp, a command line app that can run load tests in Ruby using your own Ruby/Capybara/Selenium/Cuprite libraries (note: still alpha, ping if interested). Motor Admin ships a web app with a no-code admin utility. I think Shopify would have been way better off using this for their latest command line interface rather than taking on a Node dependency, but they might not have realized this was an option, so that's part of why I'm sharing this.

There seems enough competitors when this looks like a tool from 20 years ago with limited functionality.

If you somehow do not use the obvious GUI tools like TablePlus, Postico or SequelAce but prefer web based, there are some that actually look modern.

For readonly usage, Metabase is good.

You should check Motor Admin open-source tool (disclaimer: I'm the creator of the tool): https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin

Thats exactly how Motor Admin works :)

The link posted here is to a Supabase-specific landing page.

Their main home page doesn't mention Supabase: https://www.getmotoradmin.com/

If you want a more codeless approach (not as customizable, but it already looks good and works fine out of the box), I suggest Motor Admin. You just plop it in your project, run a few migrations and it's ready to go. From that point forward, you can add forms, graphs, and query all of your models without coding as much.

There are many open-source no-code tools so you can gain full control over your data/application with them as well as contribute into the source code.

For instance, you can deploy an admin panel with https://www.getmotoradmin.com/ (plug) and save a lot of time building custom internal tools.
