Avo is an admin panel framework, content management system, and internal tool builder for Ruby on Rails.
It helps developers build production-ready internal interfaces using Ruby configuration instead of hand-coding the usual controllers, views, and supporting logic. The project is designed for both new and existing Rails applications, with scope to extend the generated interface using familiar Rails code when the default configuration isn’t enough.
This is free and open source software.
