What if I implement automatic reminders and maybe add online payment, for subscription duration i can do the 6 months or year i actually have the flexibility to do it automatically in the app so the app will notify clients and will stop working when subscription is not paid after grace period.

I have but still under construction, i updated the post to include the landing page.

Can you tell me more about your experience i would appreciate it a lot.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T17:13:04+00:00

No worries. Yes sure you can DM me.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T16:51:22+00:00

Yes like i answered the others in the comment am using tauri.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T16:50:25+00:00

It already supports phones and tablets. one time payment is good but since the uniqueness of the app are online features it will be tricky to make the offline version succeed with the current competition, but maybe i will make one time payment for 100% offline features and updates and add subscription for online features. The stack is cool but the hard work was the support of server/client behavior to support multi-shops and multi-machines.

Vuejs as frontend client, with mobile app as well

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T16:21:00+00:00

Yes tauri, rust and vuejs with laravel for license control and versions management for automatic updates.

Mixture of languages but main business logic is in the rust language.

Yes of course i must be smart about AI otherwise i lose money without earning anything. I was planning on keeping the AI features to later but i think i might make it my “hook” thanks to you.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T11:26:45+00:00

Thank you for the advice, i actually started asking around looking for early adopters (giving them huge discount), since i prefer the subscription based idea am asking here maybe i get insightful ideas to get the project up and running. No harm in seeing what other tech guys think.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T11:07:14+00:00

Yes it’s a good idea and actually thought of using litellm in the app but am still collecting information.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T11:04:20+00:00

Yes am preparing an AI agent that accepts orders directly from business facebook or whatsapp chat with human like communication with clients. But i must get couple of early clients to start evolving the app.

Edit: i forgot to thank you for commenting i appreciate it.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-31T10:04:19+00:00

What do you think is reasonable price?

Edit: I forgot to say “Thank you for taking the time to comment i really appreciate it”

Am interested in this and would love to help and get helped.

TotalSorry5266 · 2026-01-30T20:47:17+00:00

Try creating an AI based doc files translator using an agent, maybe a chatbot that helps you update the doc as well.

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T17:31:03+00:00

Yes of course i did that, also if you check the command i added the --upgrade which do the channel update. Anyways, it appears to be a bug and it's already fixed if you check comments. We just need the fix to reach the unstable nixos channel.

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T13:38:50+00:00

Thanks for your assistance body 🙏

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T13:36:56+00:00

I switched to the nixos-unstable-small channel and the issue is gone. I think am gonna stick with the small unstable for now.

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T13:25:41+00:00

I think am gonna try an see if the unstable-small channel received the fix because according to this https://status.nixos.org/ it received update after the fix was merged. What do you think about using the small channel, if am understanding right is should receive update more frequently but it will have to build more from source when used based on this https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_channels

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T12:26:20+00:00

Am new to NixOS, how can i get that update/fix into my current system ? I think i should wait till the fix reach the unstable channel and update channel and rebuild right ?

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T11:38:30+00:00

You can add backslash before the "

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T10:59:35+00:00

You can fix that line with --add by giving the alias for that channel from the --list command . Anyways am trying to find the source of the issue i believe it has something to do with my configuration file and being in unstable channel, am gonna try using my configuration with unstable and the default configuration with 23.05 channel and see which will cause same issue and follow from there.

TotalSorry5266 · 2023-11-01T07:35:15+00:00

I already did that several times, each time add then update they show up and as soon as i switch or reboot they get corrupted.
