Pretty exciting milestone for True Good Craft.
Our open-source software project, **BUS Core**, was recently featured on a podcast.
BUS Core is a free, local-first tool for small makers and workshops who need inventory, manufacturing, contacts, expenses, and profit tracking without getting locked into another SaaS subscription.
It’s been built around a simple idea: small shops deserve practical software that helps them understand what they have, what they made, what it cost, and whether it was worth doing.
