#22Looks awesome. I'm a bit jealous Rails has this resource coming from the Django world (although I know django admin also great but has its limitations)
I believe it's better than having nothing. I think there's a lot to be done in this space and having someone or a team working on it full time is the way to go.

#23Hey! Minor bit of feedback on the homepage UI; I saw the pricing calculator and the big number wasn't obviously my savings (I assumed it was the cost). I'd make sure that for anyone scanning, it's clear the large $$ amount is savings vs the actual cost! (Also, while I do think it's important you come off as cheap, I wouldn't lead with "saving money" as the main reason to use your product. It looks like you've built s…
Wonderful! On point feedback!
I had quite a tough time promoting the product and the homepage calculator was one push to highlight one quality of Avo ($ savings). But I agree, that's shouldn't be the biggest selling point.
I'll make sure to position the product differently.
Thank you!

There are a few free packages (Active Admin, administrate, rails admin) built a few years ago that can help you build a CRUD UI, but the conversations I had with developers is that they are a bit annoyed with them.
I built Avo as a modern alternative learning from the past products and improving on them.

#25Pricing is unclear. It has a fixed price and later talks about subscription. How much is the subscription.
Also at what is the frameworks strategie on locking doing transactions in the database.

#26Looks cool - looking forward to trying it out. One thing I feel is missing from rails today is a great text editor. ActiveText feels old compared to editors like TipTap.
Any plans or recommendations on standardizing on a new rich text editor for Avo?

#27Seems reminiscent of both Nova and Filament for Laravel/PHP. Nice work :)

#28This delivers quite a lot of value in terms of developer time... pricing seems incredibily low!
Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I agree the pricing is quite low.
I launched this pricing scheme in March and since then I added a ton of features that, IMHO, have increased Avo's productivity 2x. I haven't updated the pricing yet, but I'll probably do it soon.
I also spoke with other indie developers and they agree that the pricing is quite low.
Thank you for the feedback!

#29this is very very cool. Any plans of making this for the js ecosystem ?
Unfortunately not all of us are on ruby...but everyone is on js. Would totally love something like this on React/Next.

Nova was a big inspiration for me to build Avo. I don't think I would have started Avo without using Nova before.
My train of thought was "Rails helps you build apps fast! If we had something like Nova it would make it 10x faster!".
I belive the pair (Rails and Avo) is one of a kind in the frameworks world.
