AI-Native, Metadata-Driven Application Framework
Build any application — ERP, CRM, HRM, inventory, project management, or custom business logic — from JSON definitions.
Work in Progress — Actively developed. Not production-ready yet.
BitCode is a modular, metadata-driven framework that reads JSON definitions and produces running applications. Define your data models, APIs, business processes, views, and workflows in JSON — the Go engine interprets them at runtime.
It is not just an ERP. BitCode is a general-purpose application framework that happens to ship with ERP-grade modules. Use it for:
- ERP — Accounting, inventory, procurement, manufacturing
- CRM — Contacts, deals, pipeline, activities
- HRM — Employees, attendance, payroll, recruitment
- Project Management — Tasks, sprints, timesheets
- Custom Business Apps — Any domain-specific workflow
Inspired by Odoo, Frappe, and NocoBase. Designed for extensibility from day one.
JSON is the source code. Go is the runtime. Modules are the packaging.
JSON Metadata (models, APIs, views, workflows, permissions)
