Most of what I build starts as a fix for something that gets in my way at work, usually around Frappe. Some of it turns out to be useful to other people too. A few of these are finished, a few are still moving, and one I have already retired. Where the code is public, it is linked.
Local Frappe and ERPNext benches on macOS, run from the menu bar.
A command line tool that installs a bench, runs it in the background under launchd and keeps it healthy. The menu bar app puts start, stop and a health check one click away, and says what is wrong when something breaks.

brew install askysh/tap/benchbar askysh/tap/benchbar-appProject management for Frappe: goals, programs, projects and boards.
Company goals break down into programs, projects and task boards, and progress rolls back up from real task fields. Rules can notify people but never change anything. It is a Vue app inside Frappe, held to nine DocTypes on purpose. The code is not public yet.
