I've been working on this in my spare time for a little over a year now. It's far from done, but I think it'd definitely benefit from the wisdom of the crowd. Stay cool HN.

I think I'm going to use a permissive license. I definitely want companies to be able to use this as a starting point for their own in-house ERP.

This is the best explanation I've ever read!

Thanks! So what does AGPL (or the GPL family) actually restrict?

When I say sell, I'm thinking "managed hosting and support" -- not the software itself. That seems like a pretty decent approach to me.

Definitely the main goal is to provide something better to people trying to do manufacturing. I'm not hoping to get rich, but also wouldn't mind making it a full-time thing if there were enough demand for new features/support/etc.

Hey appreciate you asking!

I guess I'd be very happy if there was someone who was much more ambitious than me, who saw an opportunity to make a lot of money by doing sales on the product. It'd be great to work together with that person in a support-type role. And honestly, I wouldn't mind if they wanted to try it alone.

What would hurt though would be to do a lot of work to get it into a state where it was "the best" in some way, and a big player started selling a cheaper fork.

I'm building an open-source ERP system because I think I can do some things better than the current state-of-the-art. I've went with open-source because I've been frustrated in the past when things aren't "fixable".I'm hoping that it becomes both very good, and very useful to people. I'd also like to make money from it somehow.What license do you recommend? I don't know much about licenses. My...

I used C# before using Elixir. I also thought Entity was awesome. But Ecto and Absinthe are even better from my perspective.

Would you be willing to share your approach? I'd love to see it. Disclosure: I'm in the early stages of an open-source ERP: https://github.com/barbinbrad/carbon

It’s an open source ERP system. I’ve been plugging away for about 10 months, but ERP systems are soooo big.

Really I just wanted to build graph-based, stochastic production routing, but there are so many pre-requisites to good scheduling/routing. Like the people, and the parts in stock, and when the required parts will arrive. So I’m building all that first.

It’s also been pretty enjoyable to learn Remix and Supabase in the process. I can’t say enough good about them!
