This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rails

Our great sponsors
  • PopRuby - Clothing and Accessories for Ruby Developers
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • ActiveAdmin

    The administration framework for Ruby on Rails applications.

    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.
