I had ideas about generic admin via API, wrote a lot of plan on papers. Then I did market research and found https://tryretool.com/ which matches 70-80% of ideas I had.

I am now working on new ideas and plan give that tools a try because I love the ideas. It’s not just about CRUD which mostly deal with data layer schema and db tables. It’s /any /business_rule endpoint we create on the backend api. So it works with app level too.

Eh sounds like a sale man.. I am not sure how far their app can go in administrative tasks.

I had a lot of out of sync business logic code between a separate ActiveAdmin and a core app (Rails). It’s going towards many extracted gems and tedious abstract gem api.

I kind of wish we had some kind of elixir admin node attached to the main node and does administrative tasks via normal message passing instead of REST(http) api.
