No this is a fresh implementation and completely in Javascript. ERPNext is a client-server application based on Python.
There were a couple of itches we were trying to scratch. First we realized that a lot of people were looking for a good free accounting application and ERPNext was just too heavy. Also we realized that cloud is a bottleneck. Most SMB owners can't manage a cloud or write a simple Shell command.
The only way to truly build decentralized solution was Desktop. Also we realized this was a big gap in FOSS offerings.
This is just the first version, we do plan to add inventory and other capabilities overtime.
- mathnmusic 6y agoDid you evaluate existing FOSS solutions like GNUCash or KMyMoney? Would be interesting to see what you found lacking.
- rushabh 6y agoYes, mostly a modern user experience. Also the web stack is much more accessible there are many developers who are already familiar with it.
