Re: Show HN: Upmin – An Admin Framework for Ruby on Rails
#2Hi 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!

#6How does this compare to activeadmin?
I am biased, but I didn't like a few things about active admin:
1. Customizing views requires that you use Arbre. Learning an entirely new tool for generating webpages when every developer is already familiar with partials, html, erb, etc seemed backwards to me.
2. I tried to design upmin-admin so it was easier to setup. Active admin requires a little bit more work (but truthfully not a ton more).
3. Adding things like actions was significantly easier in upmin-admin. You basically just say what method you want to have on an admin page and it makes it work.
That said, this is very early stage (beta at best) and active admin has been under development for a while, so active admin is definitely more polished right now. That should change over time.

Truthfully, I haven't used rails_admin a lot. I can say that it is definitely more polished since it has been around much longer, but I have never tried to customize it or add in custom code so I don't know how it does there.
Maybe someone else with more experience with rails_admin could comment?

i like this, i think a new project can learn from what (some) people don't like of AA:
stuff like arbre, too much dynamism/magic, not so rails way, custom css...
at first look upmin seems on the right way (imho), but i personally don't like the haml choice.
