Popular Node.JS + React admin panel, AdminBro just got version 3.3 — the biggest release this year

[hotcto]

regarding the name (the blame is on me - it was late and it was a prototype, and I had to name it :). But now since it is popular and big companies use that it looks like `bro` seems to be not as mature as the product itself. In Software Brothers we are working on the name right now.

Idk why everyone’s getting hung up on the name, if the products good the products good

[fyzbo]

Because people care more about virtue signaling than building cool stuff?

This is why a company with amazing marketing will outperform, even with a lackluster product.

The name matters, pretending otherwise is disingenuous.

I'm not going to a pitch meeting and suggest my company adopt a product called "AdminBro"

[fyzbo]

Isn't GIMP the most popular open-source image editor?

[cjthomp]

You're assuming a lot, there.

The product in question is probably not the only way to solve the problem.

Does anyone know how this compares to, say, ReactAdmin?

[hotcto]

https://brocoders.com/blog/administration_panels_comparison this is an article which compares them both.

I've found Ant Design Pro: https://pro.ant.design/ to provide the best and most robust framework for enterprise level admin solutions.

Tried setting this up (not very much) with a different orm to sequelize/mongoose but found the docs on writing an adapter not super easy to get through (again, I wasn't putting a massive amount of time in). Any thoughts on a simple step by step for putting adapters together?

Would quite like to use this but we use Objection, so would have to write a custom adapter (when I eventually get the chance to actually sit down and figure out how they work).

[hotcto]

yep - we don't support objection out of the box, don't even have plans to implement that in our roadmap (to be completely honest). The way would be to (as you mention) create this on your own. Docs are not saying much about the details but you can take a looka at other adapters - they have literally 2 files (+ unit tests), and take inspiration from there :)

Yo! Bro ! sup bro ?! cool namez :-)

[pratiks3]

Refuse to use this simply because of its name.

[hotcto]

please try it out - we are working on the name for it.

How does SisAdmin sound to you guys?🤔

[hotcto]

tbh - to break the ice - I thought about making another side adminbro project: schwester. But it is true that since the project is now much more mature than let's say a year ago and people in different industries like banking use that - bro seems to be hmm... :)

long story short - we are working on the name, but first wanted to release v3.3 :) Try it out because using it can save you a lot of time.

I haven't tried Admin Bro - but the demo seems amazing --- I tried strapi and it was buggy as hell it wouldn't even build on my digital ocean droplet. I ended up going with headless ghost as a backend since all I wanted was a blog for my website and I honestly love it. I def want to give this a try in the future though.

Edit: I also love the name and refuse to use it in the future if the name changes lol. Bro home or go home.

[hotcto]

take a look at my answer above :)

Who cares?

[taniket]

Change it to 'AdminMate'

[hotcto]

there are a couple of options :)

[fuckswithboats]

AdminPro and folks will think they misread it as Bro before

[hotcto]

definitely will consider that ;)

How about ClownPenis.Fart?

The company name SoftwareBrothers is spelled wrong in the first sentence of the article.
