Re: Active Admin - The missing administration framework for Ruby on Rails
#42This reminds me of a recent research I've done on admin user interfaces in general. This one looks pretty spiffy, but there are good alternatives if you don't necessarily need the full framework. Here are some leads I've found: https://github.com/pilu/web-app-theme http://guitemplates.com/ http://www.uitemplates.com/ http://webguitemplates.com/ http://www.webappers.com/2009/09/18/20-professional-web-admi...
They all seem too "thick". I guess they might work if I was starting from scratch but they look like a pain to migrate to. Has anyone come up with something much leaner?

#43How does this stack up against Typus?
I remember some time ago, ActiveScaffold was the king of admin tools... Now I can hardly keep up with the new name for these admin projects.

Oh... Ok, I will introduce myself before saying that Active Admin is awesome from now on.
As I've painfully discovered myself, being humorous, especially sarcastic or filled with dry humor often attracts downvotes too, no matter how funny you thought the joke was.
edw519 regularly says something laugh-out-loud funny that also helps the conversation along, and scores a bunch of points. Other people often say things that are only slightly funny and have no other value to them, and score a bunch of negative points.
Funny and contributing = upvoted Not funny and contributing = upvoted Funny and not contributing = downvoted Not funny and not contributing = downvoted
Don't make the mistake of thinking funny/not funny is the deciding factor.

Glad to see it's available now as well.
