Co-founded an open-source Rails admin framework, still shipping at avohq.io. Configuration-based, no code generation, designed so teams can extend it without owning it.

Every Rails team reaches the same moment. Some part of the product needs an admin panel and the options are not great. Generate a bunch of scaffolding and spend the next two years maintaining code nobody wrote on purpose. Or pull in a framework that becomes its own ecosystem, with its own upgrades, its own conventions, its own bugs.
We wanted a third option: describe the admin you want, let the gem render it, keep the escape hatch open.
Ruby on Rails at the core. Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) for the panel interactions. Tailwind for styling so teams can restyle without learning a bespoke design system. PostgreSQL for the apps it runs on top of. The whole thing is designed so a senior Rails engineer can read the source and feel at home inside an hour.
