Thank you so much @dessaigne — we’re excited to be back on Product Hunt once again!
I’m Sandro, CEO and Founder of Forest Admin, and I’d be happy to answer any questions you have! We’ve been having a great run with Forest Admin since we started in 2017, and are really excited to be expanding our offering and to be able to help more and more people build great admin panels with no effort at all.
The release of this Rails gem is a special occasion for us, as we’re now able to support one of the most used stacks in the world, as well as a huge developer community. Rails has powered amazing startups like AirBnB and Twitter, and here at Forest Admin, we want to help you become the next huge success story!
We hope you find our new offering to be useful, and are really excited to hear what you think of it!
We are using Forest Admin since day 1 of Magma app and we are so happy about it. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to spend more time on our core business and save time of our devs 🙂.
@jorisrenaud Hi Joris! So glad to hear you have such great experiences with us, and thank you for your continued support! Here's to many more hours saved! 🙂
Wasn’t Forest Admin already RoR compatible ? I have used it in the past has a paid customer for a few RoR projects. Is it a different product from the team ? If so what’s the difference ? The original Forest was pleasant to use and I would reuse it, though since then I have been using administrate when needed, and lately looking at Chris Oliver’s madmin
@lorismaz Hi Loris! We did in fact have a private RoR offering in the past as well, however, it was discontinued a good while ago. This new gem is a more fleshed-out and improved feature, something that we took to a larger scope than the previous one!
Our new features include roles to handle permissions, dynamic smart action forms, dev workflow to handle frontend version controlling, and many other things. You can find out more about it on our Rails page here: https://www.forestadmin.com/rails
@lorismaz Bringing the best onboarding experience is one of my top priority so any feedback is more than welcomed! Thank you very much for your comment!
I definitely recommend this product if you need an admin interface for your Rails app. I use it for all my projects, it's easy to install and to use, and includes advanced features to help you manage your business from your admin interface.
@nico_lrx Thank you so much for recommending us, Nicolas! We really appreciate the kind words — it's always such a pleasure to hear just how impactful Forest Admin can be for developers and businesses.
@max_de_vos Thank you for the praise, Max! Hope we'll get the chance to help you again with your projects in the future!
And BEST OF ALL, it includes freshly new features like a new roles and permissions management and a new CLI for developers to collaborate at scale!!!
@louissteenbrink An unambiguously convenient solution. Good luck to the authors of the product!
Thank you @maxime_corbani 🙌🏼
Did you know Ruby was born (well, actually named) on February 24th 1993?

I first got acquainted with Forest Admin for Rails while attending a @lewagonparis bootcamp. It is amazing how easy it is to setup. Definitely low code at its best!
@oguzcan_yavuz 🙌🏼 Expect a whole lot more **awesome** features in the weeks to come!
@james_afino Hi James! Thank you for the kind words, let us know if you have any questions! 🙂
This looks great! We've started building a custom admin app, and frankly it has been taking us longer than I had anticipated. Seems like Forest Admin would have allowed us to move much faster. Congratulations for your launch and good luck!
Our team really enjoys working with the entire Forest Admin crew.
We detailed one of our use cases with Forest here:

Looking forward to many more projects together!
We're not in Rails but I expect you cover NodeJS right? If so we might have been looking for this for a while :)
@robin_choy absolutely! We cover NodeJS with 2 separate options depending on your database. With Forest, you can generate an admin REST API leveraging express/sequelize (for MsSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL) or express/mongoose (for MongoDB).
