barbinbrad··on Show HN: I've been building an ERP for manufacturing for the last 3 years
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.
barbinbrad··on Show HN: I've been building an ERP for manufacturing for the last 3 years
thanks! look forward to talking to you
barbinbrad··on Show HN: I've been building an ERP for manufacturing for the last 3 years
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 anything custom, but we do have a configurator

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 the codebase, or outside of it: https://github.com/crbnos/carbon?tab=readme-ov-file#api

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
barbinbrad··on Show HN: I've been building an ERP for manufacturing for the last 3 years
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 the rest.

for the supplier problem, we just use a typeahead/combobox component.

but for raw materials, we auto-generate the ids like this: https://x.com/barbinbrad/status/1947682873416221184

also working on some agents: https://x.com/barbinbrad/status/1903047303180464586

would love to talk, i'm brad@carbon.ms

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 manufacturing ERP to a non-manufacturing ERP -- but it's very difficult to do the opposite because of the complexity of manufacturing.

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

man! i wish i knew how to do a better job with that. there's just so much stuff. do you have any ideas?

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-market manufacturers with 200-ish employees are where i'd like to go, but many want all the accounting baked in and that's still a WIP - large players have to use SAP for accounting because they have multiple-ledgers, but i see this as a good "custom MES starting point"

barbinbrad··on Ask HN: I just want to have fun programming again
I've been building with Remix + Supabase with Chakra for my side projects. It feels great. I haven't open-sourced it yet, but I'd be happy to share it with you if you want to take a look.

There's no CSS. No useEffects. No BE vs FE. It's almost beautiful.

I find it relaxing. Can't really say much more than that because my experience is limited to that link I posted. How about you?
barbinbrad··on Show HN: I'm a doctor and made a responsive breathing app for stress and anxiety
I feel you. But it's not a product. Not anything I'm doing anything with. Just thought it might be an interesting thing for the OP to integrate into his app.

A few years ago a friend told me about something called eye movement desensitization something (EMDR). I wasn't buying it but I built a prototype anyways, and was really impressed with how effective it was. The code is super crappy, but the experience is quite good imo. Here's a link:

barbinbrad··on Antiviral Molnupiravir Reduces Risk of Hospitalization/Death by ~50 Percent
In his Nobel-prize lecture, the Merck scientist William Campbell, talks about how Ivermectin was always intended to be used in humans.

Two relevant quotes from his speech are, "I had always insisted that our written departmental objectives would include the development of new drugs for control of parasites in humans" and "The end of ivermectin is nowhere in sight."
