huge fan of elixir. and definitely have some dumb questions. in some of the realtime architectures i've seen, certain processes get priority, or run at certain Hz. but i've never seen this with the beam. afaik, it "just works

i appreciate you talking through it with me! i only have my limited experiences, and the term ERP is pretty fuzzy -- a CFO's view is a lot different than a head of production. a sage integration is actually at the top of our roadmap:

EDIT: i'm going to remove the framer motion -- you're right. it's not helping. i've also got to optimize these images, but that's for another day.

We try to hit the cache as much as possible, and all fetching is done in parallel with Remix. We try to make heavy use of their defer function to only block on the most important data, and await the other data. Remix has the option to merge

founder here. i often advise people to use excel (or some web-based). it's excellent software, and often the simplest way to solve a problem. it just gets untenable as the company gets bigger.

imo, these (supabase, trigger, upstash, novu) are the best hosted solutions in the world, but they are all self-hostable/apache/MIT. the easiest one to replace is upstash -- the @io/redis is super easy to switch out -- i thin

hey guys -- founder here. here's a little bit about me, and why i decided to build this: https://carbon.ms/#memo re: sage, i'd say that sage is well-known as being a great general purpose accounting software for m

really well said, imo! it's interesting how there's two views of ERP. one is a G/L + anything needed to support it. and the other is more of a tool that supports operations and planning. i started with a G/L, but have ke

i should also say that the accounting is a WIP but modeled on Dynamics 365 - with posting groups, item ledgers, cost ledgers, and general ledgers.

these are all excellent questions! i think, interestingly, the answer to all of them is basically -- there's an off the shelf version that's opinionated and good. and if you want to take it a step further, you'd want to just

really appreciate you taking the time to write this! we've started trying to work through adding agents like this: https://x.com/barbinbrad/status/1903047303180464586 the trouble is that there are 1000s of po

ahh, it does -- but there's a slight hair to split. on sales, carbon supports quoting, sales orders, invoicing, configurator, etc -- but it does not attempt to create a website for you where you can list your products and their configu

founder here. great question. the way i see it, the sales side should be bespoke -- because everyone has a different product, and way of selling/configuring, and the factory-floor side should be bespoke -- because of all the different

i don't know a ton about ERPNext's manufacturing capabilities, but i think there are really great for these reasons: - free to try - open source - well-documented - great developer community one big difference is in the data model

like a cmd+k type deal or something different? we do have cmd+k navigation to everywhere currently + global search, but i worry that less sophisticated users might not use it.

thanks! look forward to talking to you

yeah, good point. the docs could definitely use some work. check this out if you're interested. it's not complete, but it goes through the software pretty well: https://learn.carbon.ms i don't know if you build an

we give people access to the same supabase API as us, but it's scoped to their company with RLS. the docs are autogenerated: https://x.com/barbinbrad/status/1873043714454811100 you can use the API from inside

hey founder here. they are separate apps, but use the same database, and same api. i'm also a big believer in single-source-of-truth and the compound startup idea

agree. it's very impressive how SAP maintains multiple ledgers for different regulations in different countries. i'm not going to replace that any time soon. i think even tesla uses SAP for accounting, but something like this for

right now, we're just targeting small-medium manufacturers. there are two types -- one for job shops, and one for assembly type work. we're trying to target both. imo though, it's fairly straightforward to go from a manufactu

I think we can simplify this over time. Everything in our stack is MIT/Apache. I'm keeping my eye on this fastabase project from Drizzle: https://github.com/drizzle-team/fastabase/tree/main

Hey I'd love to learn more about your thoughts. We have a discord if you'd like to join. I see the market like this: - small job shops and startups are using it now (we have 5 customers today using it to run operations) - mid-mark
