24 alternatives to Online Inventory System for Individuals & Businesses - Want Feedback
While working as a Unix Systems Administrator (I still do, just with much more limited hours), I use a horrible piece of software called Netdoc (by Brady) for network documentation. It always confused me how something so expensive could be so horrible, so I set out to make something better. After a bit of development and research, I realized inventory software in generally was pretty horrible, so I changed tracks a bit so my software could be useful to everyone from IT professionals to those wanting to keep track of their personal book collections (And be at a price book collectors can…

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

I've been exploring uses of file metadata. Here's an interesting one with a legitimate (and potentially unreliable) use case. Focuses on ease of use. Would love to hear feedback.

Hey HN, my wife and I ran a software development agency for 8 years, and sold it recently to work on some products related to our experience, and Userdoc is our first product :) Userdoc is a requirements management tool with AI assistance, allowing you to easily create user stories, personas, and user journeys with AI assistance. We found managing requirements (especially on large systems) was quite tricky, so Userdoc acts as the source of truth for your software requirements, and integrates with your project management tools to sync your stories, but keep them centrally in Userdoc as living…

OpBoard▲7I’m a financial analyst, and for years I managed our family budget in a massive Excel sheet. I loved the control, but it eventually became an "unpaid second job" of fixing broken CSV formats and patching formulas. The real problem: The spreadsheet was a barrier, not a bridge. It didn’t help me have better money conversations at home. Telling my wife “Dining is high” wasn't helpful; we needed to see where we were overspending (e.g., that one specific cafe vs. grocery runs) without me having to act as a "human pivot table" every Sunday night. I didn't want an app that required our bank…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched a new free tool to help engineers understand their AWS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up end up becoming cloud accountants or end up forking over a big % of their AWS bill for a tool to understand costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how this new tool works: It's fully self-serve and…

I was debating when to post this, but I've been using it locally in a variety of situations for several months and I think it's pretty stable (and usable!). There are more features I'd like to add, but I wanted to see if there was much interest before spending much more time on it right now.

Hi HN, I’m one of the founders of Anyone.com, a new platform we’ve quietly been building to fix the chaos of real estate transactions. Call us the Uber of real estate really. Most platforms just list properties. We built the part no one built: the actual transaction workflow. On Anyone, buyers, sellers, and agents collaborate in one shared environment: from search → to agent matching → viewings → offers → deal → closing. We previously built Dan.com to modernize domain ownership transfers (acquired by GoDaddy), reducing transfer times from days to minutes. Real estate is even more broken and…

Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new developer and I started my first project to go full production recently. It is a directory of payment processors and payment service providers. It's free to use and gives detailed info on their pricing, business model, supported business types, available countries, prohibited businesses and high risk business support. So far only 40 have been added with more to come. And I allow processors to contact me so that they're details can be added to the database. I'll eventually automate this and add verification the months to come. I hope you'll find it useful.…

Hey everyone! My name is Toutoulliou, and I’m a beginner developer passionate about building websites. To practice and improve my skills, I decided to take on a real-world project: a price comparison tool for tech products like SSDs, HDDs, NAS devices, Micro SD cards, USB drives, and more. I used Django for the backend, TailwindCSS and Flowbite for the design, and even managed the deployment myself using Docker. It was a real challenge, but so rewarding! My website pulls data from eBay and AliExpress APIs to bring you the best deals on the market. And here’s some exciting news: integration…

Hello HN, Lucas here. I’ve been working with BigQuery for ~5 years, mostly in large (petabyte-scale) environments. Over time we ended up spending a lot of money and engineering effort just trying to understand where costs were coming from, why and how to optimize them. At some point we decided to stop, leverage all our past experience and spend a full cycle building tooling focused on cost visibility and optimization. The main goal was to regain ownership of cost data and make it possible to understand our cost structure in under a minute, while aligning the views of engineering and FinOps…

Hi HN, I've been working on this for a while and it was hard to decide when to stop, either on the way information is presented or when to stop with adding entries. It's not meant as a blog, but rather as a reference that keeps growing. Link: https://thehardparts.dev Currently I've created 4 main section: - Failure Modes: ways project go wrong - Red Flags: early signals that are worth taking seriously - Tech Decisions: common and not so common trade-offs for hard choices - Playbooks - guided approach for situations that repeat I've also focused on creating links between them to…

Hi HN, I built a very minimal website that tracks disk prices from Amazon and presents them in a clean, sortable table: https://diskprices-frontend.vercel.app/ . Motivation: I often needed to quickly check the cost per TB/GB across different storage types (HDDs, SSDs, flash cards, tapes, etc.) and found most existing tools too cluttered or outdated. So I decided to build a lightweight frontend that fetches the data and makes it easy to compare. Features: Sort by price per TB or per GB. Filter by capacity, brand, media type, or condition. Focused only on Amazon data for…

Hi HN, Annoucing the release of Magpie, a CLI tool which turns your AI agent into an expert bookkeeper, based on Jaybase. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48999936) As someone who owns a small, tech business, I have very simple books. somewhere between 10-30 transactions a month, a few depreciation line items, and a couple budgets to monitor. So it always bothered be that I was paying hundreds of dollars per year for software, and maybe a live bookeeper on top of that, just to keep these simple things in order, because I didn't have the mental bandwidth to do it myself.…

I use multiple AI tools for work and also my side projects, and the annoying part was to track my costs and token usage across tools. Everytime I had to visit each tool and its respective usage setting to check it and I was losing patience and also was getting hit by surprise limits Now I know that there are already free/open-source trackers for Cursor or Claude usage, and they are useful if that is all you need. My problem is broader as I wanted one small place to see tokens, spend, subscriptions and limits across the AI tools I actually use. I was really tired of switching tabs and…

Hi HN! Token cost has started to become a high topic of concern to all of us. I tried a few (awesome) tools such as rtk, caveman, and the recent (hillarious but effective) ponytail. What they usually do, is in-line token reduction, e.g. try to compress requests / responses as much as possible. But then it hit me (and I’m sure others had similar ideas) - just like we have routers that pick the right model, why not have something that will also narrow down the amount of available tools, skills and mcps based on repo/context? People usually accumulate skills, agents, MCP servers,…

Backstory: Few years back, I used a shared spreadsheet (GSheets) to organize my property hunt, and found it quite frustrating to keep on top of things just on the productivity side alone. Felt that there should be a better way to do this, and that's when I started creating a webapp, with features that can make this journey feel less stressful. This is a solo dev project. Have a look at the demo, and let me know your thoughts! Cheers
