Shout out to Namma Yatri [1] app in Bengaluru, India. It is developed by a payments startup called Juspay. It is endorsed by the Auto Rickshaw Drivers Union. It was launched in November of 2022 and has since done about 5m rides and drivers have earned 9m USD [2]. The entire app, backend and protocol is completely open source [3]. Seems like it uses a fair bit of Haskell and Nix!

As a customer, the app and service works really well. It is now my first choice to look for an Auto ride compared to Uber / Ola.

I recently started using Tailscale funnel for the same purpose. Works well! https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel/

Which isn't going to be of much use to anyone given that feature is still invite-only (my email is in my profile, wink wink).

Check your inbox. :)

Are you still feeling generous and have more invites available? :-)

I’ve been using Tailscale Funnel for this use case.

About to start working on an app and exploring this stack. Do you have any resources, sample repo or any open source app that I can learn from?

Yes, try either:

The official «Tamagui + Solito + Next + Expo Monorepo» starter:

https://github.com/tamagui/tamagui/tree/master/starters/next...

Or the more recent version that builds on that and adds tRPC and authentication (with Clerk):

Raycast. Apart from being a great launcher, it has replaced the need for a dedicated window manager and clipboard app.

This article by Julia Evans shows how to "build web apps like in 2005" but use libraries from NPM, use ES6 imports and stuff.

Erlang. They recently open sourced an Erlang type checker https://github.com/WhatsApp/eqwalizer and tree-sitter grammar https://github.com/WhatsApp/tree-sitter-erlang.

There is a sample app and tutorial here: https://github.com/liveviewnative
