24 alternatives to Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
My wife was planning to open a micro-bakery. We looked at production management software and it was all either expensive or way too generic. The actual workflows for a small-batch manufacturer aren't that complex, so I built one and open-sourced it. Craftplan handles recipes (versioned BOMs with cost rollups), inventory (lot traceability, demand forecasting, allergen tracking), orders, production batch planning, and purchasing. Built with Elixir, Ash Framework, Phoenix LiveView, and PostgreSQL. Live demo: https://craftplan.fly.dev ([email protected] / Aa123123123123) GitHub:…

My wife was planning to open a micro-bakery and we started looking at software to manage recipes, inventory, orders, and production. Everything was either expensive, too generic, or both. The workflows for a small-batch manufacturer aren’t that complex, but the pricing acts like they are. So I built Craftplan. All the features were tailored to what she actually needed, and I figured other small-scale manufacturers (soap makers, breweries, candle makers, etc.) probably need the same things. So I’m putting it out there for free. - Live demo: https://craftplan.fly.dev ([email protected]…

SimplAIfree tier, from $5/mo▲589Hey HN, I've been building SimplAI for the past several months — it's a platform for building, testing, and deploying LLM-powered agents and multi-step workflows. The problem I kept running into: spinning up an AI agent pipeline means stitching together prompt management, tool calling, memory, evals, and deployment — often from scratch every time. SimplAI tries to be the layer that handles all of that so you can focus on what your agent actually does. What it does: - Visual + code-first workflow builder for chaining LLM calls, tools, and APIs - Built-in prompt versioning and A/B testing…

BizPlannerAI▲293Hey HN, I’m Alex, an indie hacker and digital nomad. Since 2013, I've started a couple of dozen startups (most of them died at the idea stage) and applied to VCs, incubators, and accelerators. They all required a business plan. As a tech guy, I struggle even with writing documentation for my code, so writing business plans was always a huge issue. I tried doing it myself, and I even hired freelancers (which was very expensive for me at that time). Everything changed when ChatGPT was released. I built an AI business plan generator so every tech person can now easily write a business plan and…

We recently open-sourced Hive after using it internally to support real production workflows tied to contracts totaling over $500k. Instead of manually wiring workflows or building brittle automations, Hive is designed to let developers define a goal in natural language and generate an initial agent that can execute real tasks. Today, Hive supports goal-driven agent generation, multi-agent coordination, and production-oriented execution with observability and guardrails. We are actively building toward a system that can capture failure context, evolve agent logic, and continuously improve…

He HN, I'm an entrepreneur, and I help startups to ship products. I find out that for startups tools like Jira, Monday, slack and others are expensive and unnecessarily complex. That's why I decided to built a Freemium software for simplifying project management process. Workfeed is all-in-one soft, including docs, kanban boards. I plan to add chats in couple of months too. I hope this product will help you to manage your projects simpler and faster. Would love your feedback plz Enjoy !!

Sysadmin is my bread and butter, but I taught myself PHP and have been coding on and off for the past 6 years. I've worked on numerous freelance gigs, but mainly internal apps that I use for my real job. I worked on this project (on and off) for the past year and I'm happy to finally release it to the public. Even if it doesn't succeed, I'm happy that I was able to "scratch an itch" I've had for the past couple of years. I wanted to make something and prove to myself that I can program. I'm not the greatest, but I'm proud of what I've achieved. http://www.ikeepm.com

Cooky▲20I built a recipe manager that automatically shows nutrition info for any recipe. Import from websites or photos, create healthier versions, and keep everything organized across devices. The trickiest part was handling unit conversions accurately—turns out 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of sugar have very different weights! 100% free, available on web and iOS. Looking for feedback!
