Great idea! Will give it a try!

The assumption is that there is no app. The target is mostly small businesses who receive the order via phone or face to face.

Basically a simple pizza status tracker for small German fabricators and craftsman. You define the process, instantiate it per customer order who receives the link to a status page with a possibility to subscribe to status notifications as well. The benefit is that people don't call you anymore asking for the status of their order, saving time.

It's a pretty vanilla rails app running on a hetzner vps.

This is a great idea. Is the code open source?

Super interesting. May I ask - are people using this? What are their use cases? What do they govern?

I always find it sad that they just seem to copy the crap Microsoft does. When I see the ribbon I am already out.

I use it daily and it never crashed. How long ago was this? I am a big fan of DuckDB. Plow through hundrets of GB of logs on a 5 year old linux laptop - no problem.

This looks cool and it hits a niche. There are suprisingly few good IDEs for DB work. I use DuckDB a lot for analytics tasks mostly in DataGrip but its not great. The alternatives like DBeaver are ok but not that great as well.

Thanks for the link but thats not really the same. They are just giving you indications and then you have to sign up. I would like to see more concrete numbers per bank. Maybe there are not many factors that influence the rate?

This is awesome! I wish there was sth similar for Europe! In Germany you have to go to a morgage broker and trust that his self-interest is aligned with yours :D

I have been working on https://easymiet.eu/ It is specific to the German rental market. Basically if you want to rent an appartment in Germany most landlords require you to fill out a non-standardized self-disclosure form. That can be annoying to the landlord because especially in larger cities you might have a couple of hundret applicants and it is also annoying to the possible renter since they have to fill out the same information for every apartment they apply for. This is where easymiet comes in. As a landlord you can generate a viewing, shared it through QR or a link. Interested renters can apply using their profile. It also has a application approve and dismissal workflow automatically sending emails to the applicant. My plan was to monitize it selling applicants the ability to add more info to their profile like a picture or relevant documents. However so far I haven't been able to generate much interest. The tech stack is Next JS with BetterAuth, Drizzle and Postgres. It is hosted on a Hetzner VPS using Kamal ( wrote a blogpost about that if you are interested: https://markow.dev/blog/complex-next-js-app-kamal )
