Personal project
A maintenance tracker for the vehicles in your garage. Service intervals counted in kilometres or months, mileage history, parts inventory, full service log. I built it because I needed it — the manuals for older bikes assume you're keeping a paper logbook, and I'm not.
Most older motorcycle manuals come with a maintenance schedule that reads like a homework list — change the oil every X kilometres, check the valves every Y, replace the belt every Z months. The manuals expect you to track this yourself. The internet expects you to subscribe to a SaaS. I wanted neither.
I'd been running the schedule in a spreadsheet — updating mileage by hand, calculating what was due, sometimes forgetting. Eventually it was less work to build a small web app than to keep maintaining the spreadsheet. That's how most personal projects start.
Define an interval — every 5,000 km, every 12 months — and the app tracks how overdue you are. The dashboard shows what's due this week and what's already past.
Log readings over time. Used both for the maintenance math and for general 'how much did I ride this year' curiosity.
One entry per visit to the garage, or to your own workbench. Cost, description, attached invoices. Replaces the shoebox.
Track what's on the shelf. Spare tubes, spark plugs, oil. Useful when you're staring at a half-disassembled engine wondering if the NGK plug in the drawer is the right one.
