I'm working on a local desktop app for inventory and production management: https://kitted.site

It includes bill of materials, purchase/production orders, "can I make n?", stock takes, multiple stock locations, and barcode scanning. It's aimed mainly at small business and makers for the time-being, but still allows multiple users to connect over the the local network.

Love seeing more local desktop apps in these threads, especially ones tackling local network sync like Kitted. I'm a solo dev also in the trenches building a local desktop tool right now, so I know how fun (and painful) those architecture choices can be. Would love to compare notes sometime if you're ever up to chat. Either way, the app looks super solid.

Thank you! Kitted doesn't actually try to tackle syncing, it just allows users to connect over the local network, serving the same web client as the electron app. All the data's stored in a single SQLite database, with uploaded images and other attachments beside it.

Sure, my email's in my profile, I'd be happy to chat.
