About Avo
Avo is a customizable admin panel framework, content management system, and internal tool builder for Ruby on Rails. It aims to save engineering teams months of development time. It is powered by Hotwire and configured entirely by writing Ruby code. The input lists its license only as other, so check the repository and website for editions and terms.
Its resource management can create a CRUD interface for Active Record models with a single command, removing the need to copy and paste views and controllers. Topics mention dashboards, CRM and CMS use, and a UI builder. The project provides installation docs, a demo app, a roadmap, an issue tracker, and GitHub Discussions.
Avo suits Rails teams that need back-office tools, admin dashboards, or internal CRMs without building each screen by hand, and that prefer to keep the admin code in the same repository and language as the application.
