Kas TIY

Overview

Kas TIY is an open-source cash management system for TIY, a youth employee organization within Pura Barutama. As the organization treasurer, I felt the pain of manual cash tracking and built the ledger I wanted: structured income and expense records, clean financial summaries, and a Filament admin that non-technical members can use. The app is hosted on a VPS, and I am now turning it into an open-source project so other organizations can reuse it.

The Problem

Managing organization finances by hand, through spreadsheets or handwritten ledgers, risks human error, weak transparency, and hard-to-produce financial summaries. As treasurer I experienced this directly: there was no reliable, accessible system for recording income and expenses or producing clean reports.

My Role

I built this project entirely on my own initiative, as both the end user and the sole developer. I designed the data model, built the app with Laravel and Filament, hosted it on a VPS, and I am now rebuilding it with Inertia and React for the open-source release. This is a classic scratch your own itch project: a real problem I faced, solved with the tools I know best.

Process

I started from my own monthly routine as treasurer, listing what a trustworthy ledger needs: fast entry, clear categories, and a report that reconciles. I modeled the data, built the Filament admin, and deployed it to a VPS. For the open-source release I am rebuilding the interface with Laravel, Filament, Inertia, and React so anyone can run it.

Key Features

1. 01Structured income and expense recording
2. 02Financial summaries and reporting
3. 03Filament admin panel for non-technical members
4. 04Laravel, Inertia, and React rebuild for the open-source release
5. 05Hosted on a VPS
6. 06Open-source codebase for other organizations

Challenges

The challenge was making a trustworthy ledger for people who are not technical, while keeping reporting accurate. Moving from a personal tool into an open-source project also means reshaping the code so others can run and extend it without my help.

Outcome

Kas TIY is live on a VPS, actively used by the organization, and being prepared as an open-source release. What started as a personal pain point as treasurer became a deployed application and a reusable tool for other organizations.
