The idea came from an estate committee chairman in Hong Kong in 2020. He felt the estate manager's daily works are tedious and clumsy. He thought it should be automated. And all tenants have their own mobile phones. Much paperwork could be eliminated as he discussed with this repo creator Simon Ho the requirements, feasibility, costs, and schedule to develop this kind of project. Simon Ho has over 40 years of software development experience and just retired and moved to the beautiful city of Vancouver Canada. The project has been highly confidently fulfilled. So they decided to make it happens. After one year of hard work, the system launched in 2021 in Hong Kong. It gained lots of client attraction and requested to add more features. Unfortunately, at the beginning of 2022 Hong Kong had a COVID-19 severe disaster. Over ten thousand seniors died including Simon's father. The city is locked down and suspended. So the project was held for several months.
On May 2022, Cloudflare announced D1. Simon thought it's very awesome and excited to experiment with it. It's really really cool edge technology after carefully testing. Simon decided to re-structure and re-write the EstateManage.Net. The huge changes include:
- From Directus + Sqlite in Javascript language, to Cloudflare Workers + D1 in Typescript.
- From closed source to open source.
- From domestic to worldwide.
Indeed, these huge changes require not much time. The new system is targeted to launch in 2023 spring.
