For this use-case I've almost always relied on Rails + custom scaffold generators. There are a few projects like Bullet Train that offer some admin panel features out of the box as well.

Is this a way of bringing that functionality to all these other frameworks as well? It seems compelling because the ability to build out crud resources with a single command is a huge accelerator in Rails projects.

Are there any videos of someone building projects with this? It's useful to see what takes time an what doesn't before committing to a framework like this.

Hey. I'm Adrian, author of Avo. Avo is similar to Refine but for Ruby on Rails.

It helps developers create CRUD-like applications such as internal tools, admin panels, Content Management Systems and user-facing apps.

I love seeing more and more movement in this space.

Looks great - how easy is it to customize, and how flexible are the customizations?
You probably heard the phrase "made by developers for developers", so I won't bore you to death with it, but that's the gist of it. I probably built 100 admin panels in the past and I know what I would need in one, so I built a lot of "escape hatches" into Avo so you can extend it and create your own thing.
Sounds interesting
The product looks outstanding! We are excited to see more. Congrats
The most important feature of refine is being headless by design. No limit on customization, refine works with any custom design or UI framework you favor.

For convenience, it ships with ready-made integrations for Ant Design System, Material UI, Mantine, and Chakra UI.

We have tutorial for building a fully-functioning CRUD app, from scratch to full launch using refine. Please take a look: https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/introduction/index/
