    OK HN, time for us to build a full open source general purpose ERP in Elixir based on Ash XD

    Love to the point of invention! This looks and feels great.

    I'm an Elixir newbie and wondering if I should start with learning Ash or stick with Liveview until I know more. Any thoughts on what Ash solved for you over Phoenix Liveview?

      Ash can be used in conjunction with Phoenix, they aren't mutually exclusive. Ash is really just a framework for modeling your domain(s) and getting a bunch of helpful functionality for free (e.g advanced querying capabilities, pagination, data validations, json+graphql apis, and more) Then you could use those functionalities with phoenix to build a full web app. Or you could use something else other than phoenix, it's up to you :)

    Is the logic behind "Usage Forecast" and "Reorder Planner" hard-coded somewhere? I'm not seeing any configuration for that, so I had to ask the question.

    This is definitely a nit but is there any reason you need 2 decimal places accuracy for percent complete?

    Nice! 5 bucks says you can swap this in for your average software kanban and it does a better job.

    Oh man. My wife's biscotti business will benefit from this. Nice work!

    I think this is a very nicely thought out approach. I particularly like it doing allergen tracking. Obviously you're at the mercy of supplier/supply-chain integrity but if you do e.g. wind up with ground cumin contaminated with god knows what, this is what will get you where you need to be.

    I think I have needed this for 3d printing for some time

    Looks well thought out. We wrestle with website, real ERP and building Notion connectors for production orders in make to order scenarios so there’s definitely a pain point.

    As someone who struggled with ERPs, this is super-nice and clean!
