PaSiBudget
A bilingual offline rice-farm planner connecting budget assumptions, recorded expenses, harvest, sales, and break-even scenarios, with reports and validated backup/restore.
Local-first planning research prototype

01 / Overview
What it’s built for.
Bring a season’s assumptions, spending, harvest, sales, and receipts into one understandable planning workflow, including when connectivity is unavailable.
Who it serves
Rice farmers and researchers exploring season budgets and break-even scenarios.
02 / Features
Inside the app.
Costs and scenarios
Track cash, non-cash, and imputed costs; compare changes in cost, harvest, and price without mixing planned and recorded totals.
Sales and receipts
Record harvested quantity, sales, partial payments, and unpaid balances as distinct measures.
Reports and recovery
Export CSV, print a season report, and validate a JSON restore before adding copies of records.
03 / Workflow
From task to outcome.
Create a farm and season, or open the separate sample farm.
Enter costs, harvest assumptions, matching grain condition, and price.
Record expenses, harvest, sales, and payments as the season progresses.
Compare scenarios and break-even results, then export a report and backup.
04 / Technical layers
How the pieces work.
React · TypeScript · Vite
Responsive English/Filipino screens, completeness feedback, and protected unsaved edits.
decimal.js
Browser-side calculations keep unknown values distinct from zero and round break-even targets upward.
Dexie · IndexedDB
Versioned records live in the current device’s browser. No server database or account is required.
Service worker · JSON backup
Bundled assets are available after a successful initial load; validated backups transfer data across browsers or devices.
05 / Limitations
What to keep in mind.
- Sample costs and prices are invented demonstrations. The app does not predict yields or prices or guarantee profit.
- Clearing browser storage or losing a device can lose records without a backup. Backups are not encrypted.
- Cloud sync, multi-user access, and formal farmer usability evaluation are outside the documented release.
