Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
by deofoo on 2/1/2026, 5:25:39 PM
My wife was planning to open a micro-bakery. We looked at production management software and it was all either expensive or way too generic. The actual workflows for a small-batch manufacturer aren't that complex, so I built one and open-sourced it.<p>Craftplan handles recipes (versioned BOMs with cost rollups), inventory (lot traceability, demand forecasting, allergen tracking), orders, production batch planning, and purchasing. Built with Elixir, Ash Framework, Phoenix LiveView, and PostgreSQL.<p>Live demo: <a href="https://craftplan.fly.dev" rel="nofollow">https://craftplan.fly.dev</a> (test@test.com / Aa123123123123)<p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/puemos/craftplan" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/puemos/craftplan</a>

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

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.

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

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.

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

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