alt Hacker NewsI’m working on [Homestead](https://myhomestead.dev), which is my OSS solution for building personal apps. You can build web-apps and Homestead will handle backend, agent support, authentication, notifications, and a bunch of other stuff.
I’ve used it to build a grocery store list, credit card perk tracker, address book, mini-golf scorecard app, and a bunch more. It’s really helped having all of the “platform” stuff handled for me so I can just focus on the app.
This is cool! I have recently been building a "life admin" system that is focused around keeping track of bills and insurance reimbursements, and I am currently extending it to support a recipe database. My data model is markdown + CSV, but it has reached a point where a real database would be helpful. I'll check this out as it may be a good migration. Thanks for sharing.
