So, I used Homebox for a few days now. I like the simplicity of it and I like the direction they're going. However, there are quite a few bugs and data loss issues, it's not ready for production yet. The thing is, these issues should be so easy to fix (it's a simple CRUD app) that it makes me doubt the dev skills and possibility of other issues I haven't discovered yet.
These two issues alone made me go back to my spreadsheet for now (good thing I kept a backup). I simply don't trust the app to keep my data intact.
Thanks for your feedback! I was going to try this out but your comment makes me want to give them some more time. Ive been waiting for a long time so I don't mind giving it some more time to cook.
At the moment I'm in the middle of mixing Netbox and snipeit, so maybe by the time I get frustrated with both of them, homebox will be in a better state.
Hello, I just saw this post as I stumbled upon Homebox recently and thought about searching for it on Lemmy......so I'm sorry for posting this late. Which version of Homebox did you try? Did you try again with newer version? As I'm looking forward for a simple database for home inventory, I'm just curious how it ended and what are you using today! Thank you very much!
