Original Summary

Hey everyone! I've been working on AppScann, a small SaaS for keeping track of what's installed on your computers and servers. It's finally at the point where I'm comfortable showing it to people. The idea is very simple: you install an agent, it collects inventory, and you see everything in one dashboard. What it does right now: - Windows and Linux agents (a Windows Service and a systemd service) - OS and hardware info, plus disks with capacity and free space - Installed software with version, publisher, install path and install date. On Windows that comes from the Registry and WMI, on Linux from dpkg, rpm, pacman, Snap and Flatpak - Detailed reports with history, so you can see what was installed, removed or updated between scans - Alerts for storage and stale reports - Live online/offline status for every device - Remote scan, restart and uninstall of agents - A notification as soon as a scan or remote command finishes - Software gets sorted into categories by AI 2 agents are free, extra slots are $1.99/month. The idea came from a commercial project I worked on a while ago. It was in a similar space, but development was painfully slow, and I kept thinking that something like this didn't have to be that complicated. At some point I thought: what if I just built my own version? So I did. It started as my university thesis project, and I kept working on it until it turned into a product. And yes, AI was involved ;) I used it for parts of the frontend. I'm a full-stack developer, but I still struggle with centering a div, let alone making everything look good. The architecture and the backend are my own mess. It's brand new, so right now I'm mostly after feedback: - Would you use something like this? - What information would you want the agent to collect? - What features are missing? - Does this approach make sense for managing a small number of machines? https://appscann.com If something is confusing or broken when you try it, please tell me.   submitted by   /u/Maxwell_Mohr_69 [link]   [comments]
