Elixir + Ash is so good, and AI works very well with it because it can understand the domain you are working in. LiveView is amazing, not just for internal tools. I would even say that in most cases it will outperform flashy UIs, because it focuses on actual users who work with the app every day, not people who just want to be impressed for a minute

Yeah, trying to pump more memory. It took a few weekends over a long period of time
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Love that. I was thinking to add e-commerce layer
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
A few weekends. At the end I used AI to get JSON:API and GraphQL working, plus the docs website, a few UI changes + bug fixing
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Fixed!

Fixed!

So true, we devs are so stuck in our own bubble
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
The truth is that I put a lot of work in at the beginning to define the data structure and flows by myself. AI was very useful later to experiment with how to build the views on top of it and to fix some issues.

I still had to think hard about how to make this simple and easy for someone who does not have deep knowledge of this manufacturing domain.

*Lessons learned:*

  1. Data structure is almost everything, then comes business logic
  2. You must have deep domain knowledge of what you are building
  3. Iterate fast on the views built on top of the data structure

*PS*

All mobile fixed had been resolved and deployed ;)

Right now it's hard-coded. But based on your feedback I'm going to make some of it configurable
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Maybe? What would you like to hear about?
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Nice idea, i think i can make it work. Give me a day or two
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Yeah, didn't expect so much traffic. Going to pump some RAM
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Oh man, going to fix that ASAP
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Thanks! Would love to hear your feedback. I'm a solo developer so iteration is really fast
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
100%
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
A few weeks (mostly weekends)
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Yeah. Craftplan support batches so you can easily track down a bad batch
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Thanks!
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Yeah. Notion is not a bad idea but you'll need to maintain the connections. In fact i did model the idea first in notion
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Awesome. Please send any feedback, it will make me so happy to get another person to benefit from it
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Yup, that's Arc
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Few weeks. Elixir + Ash + LiveView is the best productive combination
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Nope, might change it based on the feedback
deofoo··on Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
Super! Will get these fixed asap
deofoo··on The Ripple Impact Grid: a simple way for senior ICs to scale mentorship
Hope this helps anyone looking to scale their mentorship impact. The human dynamics side of engineering leadership is really tricky, we're trained to think in systems and predictable patterns, but people don't follow design specifications. Easy to underestimate how much leverage you're leaving on the table

Will do :)

I'm a happy user! for sure there are some small basic things I'd love to get (better filtering, user editing, etc...) but overall they get the job done. Good luck!
