Craftplan – Elixir-based micro-ERP for small-scale manufacturers
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]…

In plain words
Craftplan is a free, Elixir-based micro-ERP designed for small-scale manufacturers like bakeries, soap makers, breweries, and candle makers. It streamlines recipe management, inventory tracking, order handling, and production planning without the complexity or cost of generic enterprise software. Built to match the actual workflows of small-batch producers, Craftplan offers essential features in a straightforward interface and is available for both cloud use and self-hosting.

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.

I’ve spent the past 4 years building software for a knitting factory, including selecting and implementing an ERP. That experience was really painful. Most manufacturing ERPs are hard to evaluate before signing an enterprise contract, poorly documented, and clearly not designed with serious API users in mind. Even when APIs exist, they’re often inconsistent or bolted on as an afterthought. We built Augno to change that. The goal is to provide a Stripe-like experience for manufacturing ERP. We want it to be a usable out-of-the-box product and a well-designed, cohesive API that developers can…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
