Are we (JS devs) using Admin panels?
Laravel has Nova. Rails has Active Admin. Django ships one out of the box. What do we have 👀
Genuinely curious what everyone is using, or if this just isn't a thing in the JS world.
Just wrapped v7 and finally looked at the State of JS 2025 backend pain points.
It's wild, AdonisJS addresses most of them. And I think I know the problem isn't tooling. It's that nothing was designed to work together.
Cohesion > more packages
Got a fun idea on how to convey this. Lemme work on it and report back.
Let's go the best JS framework just released v7 with a lot of QoL and even better DX than before !
Great shout-out to @AmanVirk1@romainlanz and @julien_rpt for the insane work made 🤩
Now let's migrate all my projects ⚡🚀
v7 is finally out 🚀
I've shipped a lot of AdonisJS releases over the years. This one is different. End-to-end type safety was something I've wanted to get right for a long time, and I think we nailed it.
Watch the video - You'll see what I mean.
Big thanks to @julien_rpt and @romainlanz for helping in every way possible.
And, kudos to Insiders for sponsoring my work

We sold our first SaaS 🎉
We built SteelSync.io in 6 days → stable $1k MRR in 18 months → sold for $20k on @acquiredotcom
100% organic growth (SEO + communities)
Not huge money.
Huge learning.
Next: scaling ReactIn.io 🚀
Here's the first gift of 2026 🎉
No need to define every single column on your models. Lucid uses codegen to generate schema classes that models can extend.

Partage apprécié

Not really a flex, but it does feel good how lean AdonisJS stays while being fully featured.
AdonisJS v7 core: 6.4MB (on disk)
Fastify: 7MB
NestJS (Express): ~10MB
And yes — this includes CLI, hashing, encryption, type-safe serialization, and more.
6 years of thinking I can make a better portfolio.
1 year of actually building it.
My new portfolio is LIVE 🚀
Please, don't break anything!

Je vais me lancer dans le déploiement sur mon propre VPS pour pas avoir à commander une instance de PaaS au moindre projet nouveau. Ca fait une vraie différence le choix de la distribution ou je fais pouf-pouf-ce-sera-toi-que-je-choisirai ?
Est-ce que ça vous intéresserait un article avec mon point de vue de dev sur l'IA ?
Parce qu'entre les prophètes de l'apocalypse et les vendeurs de rêve, j'ai l'impression qu'on entend peu ceux qui bossent vraiment avec
