Why I like @avohq.io for #Rails so much? Because I can create in a model a datetime field and then I open Avo and I can edit that field with a nice datetime picker. No extra configuration needed. And this is not even the latest version of Avo where it looks even better I think

One of the most requested small-ish features is the ability to bulk destroy records. We kind of procrastinated on this one because it's achievable using the existing Actions feature. Here's a cool way of doing it yourself while you get access to all the context you need 🙌

A complete distraction but I’m considering reworking Pagecord to use Markdown under the hood with Marksmith from @avohq.io as the editor. Possibly a batshit idea but I lose the will to live when wrangling HTML and Trix. Another idea is to use Rhino, but my gut says use Markdown like Bear blog 🤔

Hey fellow Avo lovers 🥑 We just released a cool new feature (in beta) we've been working on called "Nested records" where you can create and edit nested records. Isn't that cool?! I mean, we did offer a guide on how to implement it yourself, but this is way better.
