carbon VS GnuCash

https://carbon.us.org/

Interesting choice of a TLD. At first I thought it was free (like eu.org) but it seems that it's around $15, so pretty much like other domains. Is there a particular reason you went with .us.org?

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 current best guess is AGPL v3. But I see a lot of projects I respect using MIT.

The space is currently dominated by big players like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft. There are other open-source solutions like Odoo (LGPLv3) and ERPNext (GPLv3)

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!

Note the full API may be accessible via a cli interface.

The above work will be merged hopefully soon.

For the first repository, gnucash, it appears to be a C++ application. The common convention for a C++ app is to have the "main()" function inside a source file with the same name as the library, e.g. "gnucash.cpp". And sure enough, here it is. If I didn't think to guess that it was in that file, I could always just download the repository and do a CTRL-F for "main(". That would lead me to it immediately.

I also use GnuCash as accounting package (since 2008) for my business and it's great. Never had any issue with it.
