#8This is very cool, my TL;DR from a quick read of their GitHub code:
- Frontend and backend are both in Typescript / NodeJS
- Backend uses Knex for DB ORM (good choice, it's one of the most popular NodeJS ORMs)
- Supports VSCode, Husky and Docker out of the box
- Seems to have plenty of tests everywhere, always a good sign.
- AGPL license so anyone using this would have to contribute back to the communityRe: Show HN: Bigcapital - An open-source alternative to QuickBooks
#9I see docker-compose.prod.yml -- but I was under the impression that nobody used docker-compose in production, and I vaguely remember that it was even discouraged by Docker. Is that what docker-compose is used for now? Am I misremembering? (I've never used docker-compose in any serious manner.)
