## What it is
DashPress is a no-code admin app generator that turns your database schema into a customizable admin dashboard with zero code, launched via `npx dashpress`. It is a self-hosted Node.js/TypeScript application for building internal tools and CRUD interfaces.

## Use cases
- generate an admin panel from my database schema
- build internal tools without writing code
- create a CRUD dashboard for my app
- spin up an admin UI for a Postgres or MySQL database
- self-host an admin dashboard for my team
- replace hand-written admin panels with a generated one

## When to choose
- you need an internal admin panel or CRUD tool quickly with no frontend work
- you want a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Retool or Forest Admin
- your data lives in a relational database and you want schema-driven UIs

## When to avoid
- you need a fully custom, pixel-perfect admin UI with bespoke business logic
- you cannot run a Node.js server or the AGPL-3.0 license is incompatible with your use
- you need a public-facing customer app rather than an internal tool
