Re: Show HN: Upmin – An Admin Framework for Ruby on Rails

#32

Given its recency, is it safe to assume this works for Rails 4.2.0beta? I'm working on a new project for a client and was a little dismayed that both Rails Admin and ActiveAdmin currently have problems with 4.2.0.

I haven't tested it with 4.2.0 beta yet. I can give it a go this weekend and I will add it as an issue on github as well. If you comment on the issue or email me - jon [at] upmin.com - I can make sure to update you on this.

Hi HN, I am one of the founders of Upmin, and I am leading the development of our admin framework for Rails. It is still pretty early, but I would love to get your feedback on it as we try to prioritize our development efforts. Thanks!

This is great compared to the other admin frameworks I tried, but I think you should now spend some time on UI polishing (size of the fields and filters, visual hierarchy) to make it pleasant to use without any additional customization.

Thanls for the feedback. We plan to iterate on the design soon. If you have specific examples and could provide screenshots of things you don't like or aren't functional you can send them to support [at] upmin.com

Thanks!

Couldn't agree more.

I love it, great job guys, one suggestion though, mixing the admin logic and customisations with the model isn't a great idea, some models are already fat models, so maybe creating separate model config files would be better, thank you.

Thanks! You aren't the first to mention this, and we have a good idea of how we want to do this going forward but haven't implemented it yet.

Does this work even if you don't have Devise as your authentication?

Yes, but you will need to add you own authentication in the routes. We are looking at other ways to add auth soon, but for now this was the simplest way to get started.

I went ahead and installed it. Very cool.
