Avo is a Ruby on Rails toolkit for building internal tools and admin panels, providing a head start on development with pre-built features and customization options.

When to use it

  • •You want to create internal tools for your team without spending too much time on development
  • •You're already using Ruby on Rails and want to leverage a pre-built toolkit for internal tooling
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run `rails generate avo:tool UserManagement` to create a new tool for managing users, and then access it at `http://localhost:3000/avo/tools/user_management`
Heads up: Make sure you have Ruby on Rails version 6 or higher installed, as Avo is not compatible with earlier versions
