BUS Core

About

I’ve been building BUS Core, a local-first manufacturing/workshop system aimed at small makers and shop-style operations.Version 1.0.3 is out today.This release focused on hardening and UI cleanup more than feature expansion. The goal is to make the software more trustworthy in day-to-day use, not just more featureful.The general product thesis is that there’s a gap between spreadsheets and heavy SaaS/ERP for small operators who want control over their own data and workflows.It’s local-first, practical, and intentionally boring in the parts that should be boring.Happy to answer questions about:architecturelocal-first tradeoffsworkflow scopehow I’m handling the build/process side

small shops really need this instead of overpaying for enterprise software

small shops won't pay, market too niche
