Show HN: Build Ruby on Rails apps 10x faster – Avo

1. Avo

   1 50 1,620 9.8 Ruby

   The most powerful Ruby on Rails Admin Panel Framework! (by avo-hq)

   

   https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/pull/182

   > You also dont have any datetime field types. (edit it appears you do but the docs dont list them on the https://docs.avohq.io/1.0/field-options.html)

   We actually do have them. Date and DateTime with a wonderful date picker (flatpickr). Not sure how you landed on that page (it's for version 1.0). The correct link below.

3. ActiveAdmin

   2 25 9,559 9.2 Ruby

   The administration framework for Ruby on Rails applications.

   

   Very neat! My first thought was that this was a competitor to https://bullettrain.co/.

   Looking into it a bit more, it seems more aimed at building admin panels than whole apps. I guess it competes against tools like https://activeadmin.info/?

4. react-admin

   3 71 25,555 10.0 TypeScript

   A frontend Framework for single-page applications on top of REST/GraphQL APIs, using TypeScript, React and Material Design

5. android-analytics-debugger

   4 8 0 5.3 Java

   The Avo Android analytics debugger

6. Administrate

   5 11 5,931 9.3 JavaScript

   A Rails engine that helps you put together a super-flexible admin dashboard.

   

   This looks very similar to Administrate by thoughtbot https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate

7. monolith

   6 1 48 2.3 Ruby

   Rails template that Rocketship uses for building new SaaS applications (by rubymonolith)

   

   https://www.bootrails.com - Closed source, ~$83/year

   I've even started to piece on together for my own projects at https://github.com/rocketshipio/monolith, which will be open source, $0, and MIT licensed.

   I'm hoping enough people converge around any one of these products where we end up with something as high quality as Rails. If the community agrees on how users, authorization, subscriptions, etc. should be modeled, it opens up the door for a set of APIs and plugins that will make creating SaaS products even easier.

   My thinking on the economics of this is the Opencore stuff will be a race to the bottom in terms of pricing to free. What will end up costing money is tech support. I do see an ecosystem of third-party services that integrate with SaaS kits emerging, such as rapid ways to deploy, analytics services, etc.

8. Trestle

   7 4 1,985 9.3 Ruby

   A modern, responsive admin framework for Ruby on Rails

   

   Looks like it fits a similar bill to many existing rails admin frameworks, e.g. https://trestle.io/

10. fastapi-fullstack-boilerplate

    8 4 109 0.0 Python

    A full stack (monolith) boilerplate for FastAPI

    

    Monolith looks awesome! I love the name -- I too am embracing and championing the "monolith-first" approach.

    You've given me some inspiration for my own starter-kit built on FastAPI (trying to capture the magic of Django): https://github.com/tmkontra/fastapi-fullstack-boilerplate

    I hope to follow along with your progress and perhaps share ideas/compare notes! Cheers.
