Show HN: Pino – Open source web app for membership management
- masha_sb 8y ago1. anything similar in python? 2. what is so special, about yet another membership management solution?
- Risse 8y ago1. There is at least Tendenci: https://github.com/tendenci/tendenci https://github.com/tendenci/tendenci 2. It's open source and Drupal 8-based, meaning it's easy to extend with current selection of Drupal modules and PHP libraries
- system2 8y agoWouldn't be more appropriate to describe this as a drupal plugin / extension? Also, why would a extension / plugin cost monthly for CRUD type application? What kind of support do you provide?
- Risse 8y agoThe term that Drupal uses for these "full website" packages are "distributions": https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/distributions https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/distributions The monthly cost is mainly for support, hosting and email delivery. The support includes security updates for server and Drupal libraries, customer support via email and helping with import / export of member data (of course, due to GDPR and sensitive contact information, a processing agreement has to be signed and agreed upon)
- joekrill 8y agoNot to be confused with the relatively well-known JavaScript logging library called Pino.
- jilles 8y agoIt always baffles me when people don't do their research before releasing a project / product. A few months ago there was a guy releasing his own language called Flux...
- james_s_tayler 8y agoOr the Japanese chocolate.
- kowdermeister 8y agoUser / pass doesn't work.
- Risse 8y agoHeh, someone decided to be funny and changed it. It should be fixed, please try again.
- csixty4 8y agoIs the domain name a play on GoMembers?
- Risse 8y agoHah, actually not, never heard of GoMembers before. I of course wanted to have as short url as possible, but "pino" with all common TLDs were taken. So putting "members" to the end seemed to make sense to me.
- kplex 8y agoDoes the demo reset? Clicking around trying stuff resulted in the landing page showing not found? Worth disabling the https://demo.pinomembers.com/admin/structure/member/settings https://demo.pinomembers.com/admin/structure/member/settings page for the demo perhaps?
- Risse 8y agoYes, the site should reset every 15 minutes, please try again soon.
- sigfubar 8y ago> Pino is an open source web app built on Drupal closes tab I do love me a hint of scandal, but the whole "thou shalt not BDSM in your spare time" thing is a major turnoff.
- mushufasa 8y agolooks like bulma css
- headcanon 8y agoIs there a repository (like an awesome-* list) of open-source self-hosted appliance apps like this? I'm sure there's an awesome-drupal list, but I'm thinking more like a list that might also include this and Discord. Edit: I meant Discourse. and I also answered my own question: https://github.com/unicodeveloper/awesome-opensource-apps https://github.com/unicodeveloper/awesome-opensource-apps
- eeZah7Ux 8y ago+1, a repository with proper indexing would be nice, but also a place where people can request such applications or find contributors.
- the_common_man 8y agosearch for awesome-selfhosted. one of the most comprehensive lists
- sucrose 8y agoThis site can’t be reached: demo.pinomembers.com unexpectedly closed the connection.
- funkaster 8y ago> managing our associations' members with a spreadsheet program just wasn't suitable and we needed something better and easier ok... what about not reinventing the wheel and using something like LDAP[0] and one of its many, many UIs? How is this different from all the other solutions? [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_P...
- h1d 8y agoI have been using OpenLDAP to manage users for like 10 years but what GUI/web based tool do you suggest for managing its data? The only non complicated solution looks to be PHPLdapAdmin which I use but it is pretty much abandoned and a fork is keeping it alive.
- funkaster 8y agoHere's a new one (that I haven't personally used): https://github.com/kakwa/ldapcherry https://github.com/kakwa/ldapcherry
- h1d 8y agoYou said many many UI but that one looks to be very basic which anyone can build in a day. I really find it hard to manage LDAP without a intuitive clean UI and wonder why there aren't much demand for it.
- funkaster 8y agomy guess is that many people/orgs they don't use LDAP directly: it's used as the backend to manage permissions, groups, metadata, etc. They prob use their own system that relies on LDAP to manage the details of their org.
- kakwa_ 8y agoNot really in a day. You could probably hack something in day, hardcoding things like schemas, fields, and things like that. But having something that is reusable requires more work than a day. Just as an example, even handling ssl/tls is far from trivial (plain ssl vs startls, with certificate validation or not, with a custom CA or not), it took me easily a few days to understand the options python-ldap provides, expose the options in a clear manner in the config file, deal with errors to provide meaningful logs and properly test everything.
- tcrow 8y agoI feel like this needs a bit more polish before you start telling users it is ready. I see double menus, random logouts, and a bare bones feature set. Basically just a list of users with ability to send emails?
- h1d 8y agoIn what format are the users stored? Is it just another custom database schema? It's kind of pointless when it can't be integrated with bunch of other infrastructures that support common protocols like LDAP.
