An PWA primarily for my wife and my daughter. They can order their hot chocolate and their coffee as if they were going to grab something at a fancy café downtown, but instead it's at home and I'm the barista. It is quite nice to have for when my wife comes back from work and want something specific, or when we are waiting for the visit of a few friend, they can order exactly the available beverages and everything is ready when they're here.
It was also a good playground for me to implement Web Push notifications (to never miss new orders).
It's a basic Nuxt 3 app with Appwrite as the backend with rough edges, but much enough for our household use !
If you want to spam my phone with notifications, please visit my café : https://mytinycafe.com/alix https://mytinycafe.com/alix
- Dachande663 11mo agoI love this concept and the execution.
- MagicMoonlight 11mo agoYou should add food and prices too. Obviously you don’t need to implement an actual payment system because it’s for fun, but if it kept track of the money, your kid could charge you 0.50 per drink or something.
- krlx 11mo agoThat's a nice idea ! Will definetly add it soon. And for the food, one can already add anything, it's just a text field. A friend of mine only has alcoholic drinks and snacks on his menu page.
- dgellow 11mo agoI love it! Such a cute application :D
- detectivestory 11mo agoFYI: The features section of the website doesn't render correctly in dark-mode.
- nicbou 11mo agoThe testimonials section is adorable
- popalchemist 11mo agoLOVE this. Are there any plans to open-source? I'd love to run my own instance. Also some feedback: the ordering buttons are inexplicably in french despite everything else being in English. Choice of language or defaulting to English would be expected... Also - multi-select and nullable options. So that I can create options like Taco / Steak / Pasta, and add side options that are relevant only when one of those is selected.
- krlx 11mo agoIf there's a demand for it to become open-source, why not? But I'll have to improve code quality first. As the presence of french labels indicates it, i18n is not properly implemented for this project.
- DigiEggz 11mo ago+1 interest!
- popalchemist 11mo agoI'm definitely interested! My family would love this.
- mrtimo 11mo agoMe too
- turboponyy 11mo agoNo, you really don't have to. Partially complete software can have a lot of value too. Anyone can fork it and quickly add the i18n (or just translate into a different language) for their own purposes. People will likely want to contribute i18n. People may fix or improve things for you. Of course, it's entirely up to you - but I've appreciated half-complete software countless times before.
- eibrahim 11mo agoMe too

- dylanzhangdev 11mo agoIt's really super cool!
- porknubbins 11mo agoSlightly disappointed to realize there is not some automated drink machine behind this, as that's more my interest, but cool nonetheless and you handmade drinks are probably better.
- derrida 11mo ago> Slightly disappointed to realize there is not some automated drink machine behind this There is and it's called "dad"
- fsckboy 11mo agoso it's a point-of-snail sort of system, perfect for taking share in a teeny tiny market, and in the growth-share matrix something of a Cashless Cow?
- ncr100 11mo agoI like it. Delightful. The URL is public e.g. for /nick (me)?
- krlx 11mo agoYes, the url is public :)
- astrikos 11mo agoThis is so delightful!
- abrookewood 11mo agoFYI this is a blank page on Firefox :(
- AareyBaba 11mo agoworks for me Firefox 145.0.2
- nidnogg 11mo agoOh man this would kinda help me a lot right now. (As a struggling home owner living w/mom and dog)
- alfonsodev 11mo agoAwesome! I like when imagination fills the gaps of technology, maybe because I played on old computers like spectrum, we had few pixels and had to imagine the rest. The ordering could’ve been “solved” with a WhatsApp message, ( or shouting ? :D ) but that would have been so boring! This much better life UX ! This app is a reminder of being playful and imaginative in life can bring joy, congrats!
- TZubiri 11mo agoThis made me ovulate, and I'm not even a woman.
- Ulf950 11mo agoLovely idea! One Latte for me :)
- herrherrmann 11mo agoSuper cute! Might try it out soon (my partner and I are both working from home most of the time).
- AJRF 11mo agoThis is adorable. Nice work!
- valbaca 11mo agoThis is awesome. Perfectly solving a problem, showing off tech, and adorable.
- chrishawes 11mo agoI never expected to open this and find something that would put a big grin on my face. Thank you for giving me some joy.
- cbartlett 11mo agoThis is lovely,I thought about doing something similar but as a 'Dads taxi' app similar to Uber where my family can request rides. Partly because I sometimes struggle to remember where I supposed to be and when, but also because it might just be fun
- krlx 11mo agoI really love the idea of an ecosystem of Apps Powered by Parents (APPs). Please reach out if you ever plan to implement it!
- mghackerlady 11mo agoAlso helpful if you have teenagers and want to make it easy for them to not drink and drive
- samschooler 11mo agoSo cozy. I love this. One nit: the contrast in dark mode at least on the marketing site is a bit off (But I'd love to fix it myself if it was open source :) )
- apetresc 11mo agoBug report: I tried to create a new cafe with a name that contained a space character in it. The form told me the ID was invalid but seems to have created my user account anyway. When I log in now, the CafeID I get is 'undefined'; as in, I am now the proud owner of https://mytinycafe.com/undefined/barista https://mytinycafe.com/undefined/barista. I'm assuming this is not intended :)
- yahooguntu 11mo agoHey, that's MY cafe! (same bug happened to me)
- krlx 11mo agoJust had a look at the control code. I must have been drunk because it is totally idiotic. I am surprised it took that long for it to be reported on HN
- speff 11mo agoVery cool concept - thank you for sharing it! I think would be a great solution to the near-daily "what should we eat" problem. If I could make a (not-important) suggestion, I think being able to re-arrange / categorize menu items would be useful. Something that lets you group together drinks apart from snacks as an example.
- krlx 11mo agoThe "what should we eat" problem was a big source of tension in our household since the arrival of our first child. Too much time-consuming, too much planning effort. What changed our life (and I really mean it) is the app https://jow.com https://jow.com: it suggests you a list of meals for the week suited to your family and equipment, and it creates a shopping list for your preferred delivery provider. I only have good things to say about it and could go on for hours.
- speff 11mo agoWe're actually in a unique situation where the planning+buying isn't the hard part, but the deciding is. We're within walking distance of a super-cheap grocery store and I'm able to cook a wide variety of dishes - many of which I can make quickly. The hard part is my wife doesn't do well with open-ended questions like "what would you like to eat"? Seeing a discrete list of things I can make and her just picking/submitting the options would solve the problem. Though that only holds while we have free time. If we have a kid, then I can see a great amount of value in that app.
- tylertreat 11mo agoI posted this in another comment but couldn't help but notice this discussion since it seemed relevant. I've been working on https://mealsyoulove.com https://mealsyoulove.com, which is a meal planning app that also integrates with Kroger and Instacart for ordering groceries. Jow looks similar (not sure what their pricing model is?), but I'm leveraging AI to build highly tailored recipes and meal plans while allowing you to also import your own recipes to incorporate.
- xmarcosx 11mo agoDo not worry about cleaning up the code before open sourcing it. Get it on GitHub and I am sure plenty of us would open PRs. I know I would!
- krlx 11mo agoIt's live on Github now ! https://github.com/Karalix/micro-cafe https://github.com/Karalix/micro-cafe
- numbers 11mo agothis is awesome! my wife and I host coffee for neighbors on saturdays and this would be perfect for that!! thank you
- huevosabio 11mo agoAh this is one of my favorite projects I've seen in a long while. Will open my home cafe.
- cipherops 11mo agoThis is the ultimate benefit of democratising building of software with AI. Any personal and limited use-case can become software. Then people get software that suits them, not what suits the average user.
