What happens when you find a job and don't have time to keep working on the CRM that your father uses for his company, and he inevitably runs into issues or limitations that require new development?
This feels like a very risky move.
Yeah, impressive project, but I had the same thought.
My LGS recently got me in to have a look at building some custom systems for them. I looked at what they needed and was like:
> Hold up. You can pay me thousands of dollars to build something custom, and it will inevitably have on-going maintenance costs and high associated monthly costs for hosting + third-party API access (not amortized across multiple stores/clients), OR I could set you up on Shopify and a bunch of well maintained plug-ins.
Maybe the CRM will become a viable replacement for a job. There are tons of one-person or very small service businesses who could probably use that.
