In plain words

Avo for Rails is a developer tool that generates a full-featured admin panel for Rails applications. It automates common development tasks, allowing engineers to focus on building core app features rather than repetitive scaffolding work. The tool produces a ready-to-use admin interface that can be deployed to end-users immediately without additional customization.

From the sources

Avo abstracts away the common parts of building apps, letting your engineers work on your app's essential components. The result is a full-featured Rails admin panel that works out of the box, ready to give to your end-users.

Avo is a code-based app builder framework for Ruby on Rails that enables engineers and teams to ship and maintain their internal software incredibly fast

Avo turns your Rails app into your company's command center. You could build it yourself, but the cost isn't writing the first version, it's owning it forever. Avo takes that off your plate, so your team can focus on the product your customers actually pay for. Free trial available. Secure by default. Works with any Rails app. The first app is the product people pay for. The second is the internal tooling behind it: the admin panels, dashboards, and CRUD screens your team lives in. It's never finished, and no company ever won its market because the admin panel was great. Build it yourself and you carry two apps forever. Let Avo own the second one and you maintain a single app instead. Yes,…from avohq.io

    Hi, founders! We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way. Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface. If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components. We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
