    I think the coolest thing about Rails is actually the great amount of high quality Ruby gems for Rails.

    For instance, you can bootstrap a powerful Admin panel for your Rails project in no time with https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin-rails gem.

    You should try https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin-rails - it builds admin UI with basic CRUD on top of AR models automatically. Unlike other gems where ruby code is required Motor Admin panel can be customized via settings directly in the UI - all configurations are stored in motor.yml file and can be easily transferred between environments.

    https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin-rails - just adding a link here. u/dpaluy motor admin doesn't require any integration with your rails app js build stack (doesn't depend on webpack/esbuild) - due to that it's very easy to integrate it with any existing app.

    1. Use git to create commits with new configurations in motor.yml and deploy/pull that git repo on the production host in order to update the configs.

    2. MOTOR_SYNC_REMOTE_URL=https://remote-app-url/ MOTOR_SYNC_API_KEY=secure-random-string rake motor:sync to sync configurations directly to production app host via API.

    There a bit of info about configurations sync between environment here:

    Until recently, my default Admin was ActiveAdmin library. But I found it a bit challenging onboarding new engineers with Inherited Resources gem. Also, a lot is changed on the frontend side with webpack, and now esbuild. I would like to use TailwindCSS to simplify the development. IMHO, ActiveAdmin legacy makes it way more complicated for customization to a new project.

    All Active Admin controllers are inherited from InheritedResources::Base, which means that we can modify their behavior using library methods. For example, here is how the list of available controller actions is defined:
