  • brick

    Auto-generate models, views, controllers, and routes in a Rails app based on database structure (by lorint)

  • I'm on a path to try to recreate the Django admin interface in Rails. Many things work -- all BT and HM things, plus polymorphism / STI stuff / etc. And it's fast. But it doesn't yet have time series stuff or some other niceties that the Django one does.

  • Arbre

    An Object Oriented DOM Tree in Ruby

  • Why use ActiveAdmin or RailsAdmin: Brick is not nearly as configurable -- at least yet! With Brick you can drop in your own model / controller / view template and it will use it, but on its own you can not change theming / use it to do templating tricks / etc. Currently working hard to arrive upon a straightforward and logical approach so that all of this will be possible. Looking into Arbre (used by ActiveAdmin) and Phlex for inspiration.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
