Project in full swing. Feeling great! Finishing UI and feature polish. Tech readiness sprints next...'Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested." ~ Hunter S Thompson

#opensource #selfhosted

Pullbox roadmap is live → pullbox.app/roadmap

Recently shipped: universal blocklist, CI/CD pipeline with multi-arch Docker, design system with light/dark mode.

After v1.0: direct downloads, OPDS server, story arcs, recommendations.

Open source. Built for collectors.

@nandinicoderpro.bsky.social yep, there are other comic book library management tools out there the just didn't fit my needs both feature and tech stack wise. That's why I'm building Pullbox. I've been using it for my collection as I build it, its working great. I'm getting close to dev complete.

‪@jamescheung No issues with my stack, I kept it simple. Python and fastAPI, mySQL db, and HTMX + Jinja2 + Alpine.js on the front end.

100%. The open source self-hosting ecosystem has gotten so good in the last couple years. Projects that used to require serious sysadmin skills now have one-click Docker deploys. Really exciting to see builders like you adding to it!

I completely agree, we've got a great open source community of amazing devs. The more self hosted apps the better.

@coachchron.com I'm on a defined schedule. LOL. I'm an old developer that turned into a Product Manager, so discipline in a schedule is key to success. Thanks for the motivation though! 😀

Comic collecting is complicated.

Variants. Annuals. Series reboots. TPBs that collect issues you already have. Events spanning 12 titles.

Existing tools were built for TV and movies and bolted comics on. Pullbox was built for comics first.

I've been building a self-hosted comic library manager for the past year.

Here's what it does — and why the space needed something new. 🧵👇
