Monthly blog post
From now on I want to do a monthly blog post to keep you updated on the current state of affairs each month.
I want to keep it short and sweet without much BS.
Short term development goals
I currently receive funding to create a POS (point of sale) system for a local computer store.
So this has a higher priority than finishing the website CMS (content management system) part and the website part.
This POS system includes sales and stock management, and eventually gets touch screen support.
This month I bought a Raspberry Pi 5 with a cute 7″ touch screen so I have a testing environment
- The first goal is to develop the POS system.
- Then develop the CMS
- Then develop the website with webshop integration for multiple websites
This month
- I’ve been busy finding a proper open source license for the project.
I want to keep it open source, but I have trouble with the idea that some big company might fork the project and making millions with it, without paying a dime to the actual developer.
I’m naming the developers of TLS as an example. - I’ve been busy writing documentation, and recording YouTube videos to install the software
- I’ve been busy creating an install script for Debian Linux.
this still has some quirks with user input on some systems and not others, not sure why - I’ve been busy implementing a licensing system.
Although the basic version will be free for individuals and small businesses,
I want some form of restriction to using it in a commercial environment for big businesses
See you next month!
