ERPNext is the actually open source accounting software to consider here.

We're working on an MIT-licensed ERP built on Supabase/Remix. Currently ERPNext is much better (because it's more flushed out). But not for long I hope :)

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?

Yeah, I like it -- but our team unanimously think it's stupid haha. So we'll be moving over to this domain soon: https://docs.crbnerp.com -- It's tough to get a good domain.

Consider spending a bit more time on the search ? That one will be hard to spell.

Oh man joyful.com! Are you kidding me? Teach me your ways

That's an interesting typo in your user name.

What kind of manufacturing do you plan to support? And what does it mean to be specific about support for American manufacturing?

We'll focus on discrete manufacturing. Part of the team has experience in machining, so it's likely that we'll focus on that first. But my experience is in more complex configure-to-order type stuff.

Indeed. ERPNext is GPLv3.

Also checkout Frappe Books from the team behind ERPNext for desktop accounting: https://github.com/frappe/books

It's weird how well they hide their repository.

Github link on https://erpnext.com/ goes to https://github.com/erpnext which is pointless.

Actual repo seems to be https://github.com/frappe/erpnext and is GPL-3.0.

Seems awfully difficult to install and self-host.

Did you try the docker based 'easy install'? https://github.com/frappe/bench?tab=readme-ov-file#easy-inst...

I run a manually installed, locally hosted instance. It's not much of a hassle.
