24 alternatives to I just open-sourced my web based POS software – WallacePOS
Hi Hacker News, Early last year I decided to build a web based POS solution. A charity I was working with at the time tasked me with finding a affordable POS solution. The system had to support multiple locations at a reasonable price. Unfortunately I was unable to find any software that fit and so after an initial proof of concept, the project was born. I aimed at using the latest technologies used in the browser and had fun working with them (localstorage, websockets, etc), as well as some very tricky but gratifying problem solving. About a year and a half later I feel WallacePOS is ready…
WallacePOS is a web-based point-of-sale system designed for businesses needing affordable, multi-location solutions. Built with modern browser technologies like localStorage and WebSockets, it offers a connected POS… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I just open-sourced my web based POS software – WallacePOS launched in 2015; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hey HN, I'm Mo. I've been building Paseo, an open source environment for running Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode across desktop, mobile, web, and CLI. It started last September as a push-to-talk voice interface for Claude Code. I wanted to talk to an agent while going on walks. Then I wanted to see what it was doing. Then text it when I couldn't talk. Then review diffs, run multiple agents, and manage work across machines. After a lot of iteration, it turned into a broader environment. The basic model is: - A daemon runs on your machine (MacBook, desktop, VPS, etc.). - Clients connect to it…

Hi HN, I built StagePOS, a cloud POS system that's completely free with no monthly fees. The Problem: Small businesses pay $50-200/month for basic POS functionality, often locked into expensive proprietary hardware. The Solution: - 100% free software - Works with any ESC/POS thermal printer - Stripe Terminal integration at standard rates (2.7% + $0.05) + platform fee ($0.05) = total(2.7% +$0.10) - Cash payments = zero fees - Cloud-based with real-time sync - Built with React + Node.js Features: - Multi-business types (Restaurant, Bar, Karaoke, Retail) - Remote order support -…

Hey HN! We're Nithin and Nikhil, twin brothers building BrowserOS (YC S24). We're an open-source, privacy-first alternative to the AI browsers from big labs. The big differentiator: on BrowserOS you can use local LLMs or BYOK and run the agent entirely on the client side, so your company/sensitive data stays on your machine! Today we're launching filesystem access... just like Claude Cowork, our browser agent can read files, write files, run shell commands! But honestly, we didn't plan for this. It turns out the privacy decision we made 9 months ago accidentally positioned us for this…
