Tried to run open-saas on my Mac Mini M1, here are my thoughts:
So, a few weeks ago I discovered wasp via Mage and loved the idea behind it, and have been trying to make it work properly since then. Recently got invited to test again via a dev.to post and here I am, adding some comments:
- 0.12 is a huge improvement, even after installing nvm I still had problems running wasp. Now at least the first steps are running
- I tried open saas using /wasp new/, install was a bliss, but the steps to run it should be more clear. On medium and dev.to it seems that it's just a matter of executing /wasp start db/ and after executing it I got an error talking about docker not installed. I had to go all the way to the documentation and see how to "fix" it (I'm using quotes as it's not a bug per se, more a nuisance, more later);
- OK, docker running locally, postgress installed, IT'S ALIVE! But... the sign up asks for "user" and "password" and later, when I try to buy something, nothing happens. Just after checking the logs I saw the error saying that I need to have an email o_O
- But when I clicked to change my user settings, I couldn't find an "Edit" button - I know that it's a starter and some parts need to be added / changed by the dev, but it's kinda confusing to add necessary fields / functions;
Here's what I think it would be nice:
- a "lite" version that doesn't need postgressql running so the dev can test the front-end. A simple database should be enough;
- a chance to point to a remote database (or that isn't running via docker) before executing /wasp start db/;
- a clearer documentation (I can help with this)
Overall, love the idea behind wasp and I hope it doesn't be seem as simple criticism - there's potential on this tool and if I didn't have php/python as my languages I would be more helpful
