  • Quicksy and Prav apps allow you to easily signup via SMS verification like WhatApp etc. Super easy and the app works like Whatsapp, completely usable for non technical users (much more so than any Matrix client).

    And Snikket is an super easy all in one solution for running a XMPP based small group server with invite based onboarding. Also completely non-technical user compatible.













  • Odoo is probably overkill, but if you need the POS parts then I am not aware of another option with that easily included.

    Odoo itself is a bit of a pain to update across major versions and the (very nice) OCA plugins need to be managend manually. So both factors together make hosting it a bit annoying.

    I don’t see a huge difference in hosting from home or a VPS, but of course a managed solution is going to be more hassle free.

    I think the most important point will be to talk to your business partner about it, and probably to have a backup plan for paper based ordering in place. The latter is good practice anyway, as recent power outages in Spain and Portugal have shown.



  • Anubis is not bad for privacy, but rather the opposite. Server admins explicitly chose it over commonly available alternatives to preserve the privacy of their visitors.

    If you don’t like random Javascript execution, just install an allow-list extension in your browser 🤷

    And no, it is not a PR slogan, it is the live experience of thousands of server admins (me included) that have been fighting with this for month now and are very grateful that Anubis has provided some (likely only temporary) relief from that.

    And I don’t get what the point of an extra button would be when the result is exactly the same 🤷
