Celerp is inventory and accounting software that you can install and run with:

`pip install celerp && celerp init`

It launches a web app with bundled PostgreSQL. Other computers on your LAN can use it through their browsers. There are also desktop installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

New modules can be built and imported without forking the repo, so industry-specific workflows and integrations don't need to become part of the core. I've spent about 20 years building ERP systems for factories, wholesalers, and other industries. Celerp is an attempt to turn what I've learned into something simpler to deploy, self-host, and extend.

On install, users can choose from 16 industry presets that load the relevant modules and configuration. Many fields can also be edited directly in place, closer to a spreadsheet than a traditional ERP screen.

My thesis is that over the next few years companies will increasingly want more control over their infrastructure and business data. I'm hoping Celerp can make that practical without bringing back the complexity traditionally associated with self-hosted deployments.

I’d especially like feedback on where local/self-hosted business software breaks down in practice, how to get it into SMEs without relying on implementers, and what it would need to support your own business.

For the last 6 months I've been working on a local-first replacement for accounting and business management software. I just finished building a modular system that I'm pretty proud of, which lets users develop their own modules and import them into a running instance without having to fork the repo.

After 10 years of building on AWS infra I still had no idea what anything would cost. At some point it just became clear to me that they intentionally designed it this way and that complexity is the feature. I switched to digital ocean last year and really haven't had to think about infrastructure again.


Just a note I thought i'd add, they actually have your estimated next months bill on the upper right hand corner of the page at all times.


Super cool. Rewinding your own archive seems like the killer feature here; have you thought about adding in a share link that opens the same place at the same moment? That would make it much more useful.


No. Thank you for your feedback, I will feature it in a update soon, maybe a few hours to a few days


Anybody else find Fable almost unusable because of the safeguards? I generally can't get more than 2 minutes into a task without it auto-switching back to opus..


I'm in the biomedical field so yes, it drops to Opus 4.8 straight away due to safeguards.


Same for the dental app I'm working on.

And for the record i'm NOT vibe coding it...


Just fyi: you can toggle auto-switching to opus if safeguarded.


Does it support offline meetings? The primary problem I have with other solutions is offline speaker identification when we bring offline everyone gets marked as the same speaker.


I disagree, I sequenced with nebula genomics years ago.. you can understand risk factors for various problems so that you can start interventions that make sense way in advance.


Did you actually find any actionable results? When I had my genome sequenced professionally they told me I literally had no SNPs in my genome that were associated with deleterious mutations. And even if you do, there are only some treatments- and those treatments usually have clinically validated tests that are accurate.


Yes, mostly preventative. Like it caused me to have my cholesterol checked and realized my triglycerides were a dumpster fire. Also good to know about certain cancer risks that I never would have checked up on regularly.

But if you had your entire genome sequenced and not just a check for specific risk factors then 100% there is all sorts of interesting information you can find on yourself. There are tons of correlative studies out there.


Even if agents can learn to navigate all the stubs and WET crap they leave behind do we really want a code base that no human can follow what's actually going on?


Even if the agent does everything, English is an imprecise description of what the code does.

So I personally at a minimum will want to talk “in code” about what code does.


Sure, but that only happens with a clean, concise, human readable codebase. If agents start working directly in binary, it'd be a lot harder to interact and understand what's going on and where the points of failure are..


If anything I've seen them go too far with DRY. Like two small functions have logic that you could separate into a shared helper, but no human programmer would do that because it's an unclean abstraction and breaks next time you want to alter either one at all.


Is there a recovery path, like an encrypted export or recovery file; say phone stolen, laptop dies, etc.., or is the vault only as durable as my most reliable device?


The latest browser extensions now have an export feature in the settings page. Mobile will get it too. Besides that, the more devices are synced via P2P, the more backups you have (each device has a copy of the vault)


Any plans for android?


Maybe in the future, im working on a macOS version atm and since the app rely heavily on iCloud it makes it difficult to support Android


Looking forward to the macOS version!
