Motor Admin VS motor-admin-rails

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.

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:

You should try https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin-rails This admin panel gem doesn't use DSL or configuration files and can be customized directly via the UI. More complex things like custom forms and actions can be added via regular rails API controllers.
