#2Hey guys, I'm a dev frustrated by creating unloved admin interface. That's why I created Forest - a SaaS (we never have your data) that provides instantly a customizable admin interface to your webapp.
I'd like to be challenged here, it would be awesome :)

#3I might be Forest's biggest fan!
Forest couldn't be much easier to set up. We've been using it here at Willing for a while and we're really happy – it took less than an hour to set everything up and add a few custom actions.
On average, we save 4-5 hours per week by giving our customer support team the ability to safely perform actions that previously would have been handled by the dev team.
We haven't yet taken full advantage of creating data visualizations in Forest, perhaps @seyz can show some off.

#4I've been using it for a month, and it clearly helps a lot: in less than 5 minutes I have managed to have a complete admin for my apps. A huge improvement when you want to advance quickly.
Keep up the good work guys!

Willing was definitely the mother of all use cases, with your custom actions already coded it was a matter of only a few lines to extend the Forest connector and it was done. Haha, I see the data viz still do the trick, here is a screenshot:

#6I clicked "Get Started" and was only then shown, that it only supports Rails or Express.
Are there plans to support other frameworks, namely Django!?
Edit: Now I see the "Others" tab on the site. Signed up!

Apologies for the trouble, the homepage is obviously a WIP and it could be more straightforward on that regard. Django is on our to-do list of supported framework, we’re going as soon as possible and will let you know as soon as it’s available! :-)
