Fills a real gap for JavaScript admin panels
From 2 comments
I'd say that the JS world does need one of these. There haven't really been any admin panels in the javascript world to my knowledge that are far beyond the "weekend project"…
mr_luc on HNvery cool - would love to see an actual implementation of this. might just use it for my own CRM

Good example of structuring an Ember app

Beyond the fact that this is super useful, it's also a great example of how to build and structure an Ember app.

Site performance locks up or crashes mobile Safari and Chrome
From 5 comments
I can't browse the site on my iphone(news.yc, chrome & safari), it locks up during render.
busterc on HNSame on iPad, though after a minute or two (!) or so it finally begins to work. It has probably something to do with that 100000 row table on the landing page.

From 2 comments
It's a bit sad for the front-end JS community that despite using one of the most comprehensive client frameworks in Ember.js, the author of this admin panel still felt the need…
kenster07 on HNThat's because the said data framework is still far from being production ready and complete. I fail to see why it is a sad thing. It is actually good for the Ember ecosystem…

Broken navigation and links in the demo
From 2 comments
Two things: When I click on an ID in the example, I can't get back except for using the browser back button. Also, the EPF link tries to send me to epif.io.
skore on HNFor a second I thought your "new" view was broken, but I realized it was because I had scrolled over in the table before clicking new. Looks like you need a scrollLeft(0)…

Support for authentication and authorization

I'd say that the JS world does need one of these. There haven't really been any admin panels in the javascript world to my knowledge that are far beyond the "weekend project"…
mr_luc on HNI believe one of the reasons why there haven't been any for JavaScript or Node.js is because nothing is standardized, apart from possibly express and connect. Authentication and…

Passport.js with ORM options
