What it is
My brother runs five internet-provider companies on a legacy ISP-management platform whose vendor has stopped meaningfully moving forward. After watching how I build with AI, he asked the obvious question: could we just build our own? newadmin is that build: a modern, AI-integrated back-office for running an ISP business, with a possible future as a product for other providers stuck on the same incumbent.
How I’m building it
Interview-driven. I sit with him, he shows me how the work happens today and how he wishes it happened, and the system grows out of those conversations. In parallel: database archaeology, reverse-engineering years of accumulated schema from the old system and migrating the data into structures that make sense. That’s why the repo is mostly Postgres and stored procedures right now; the foundation is the data.
Why it matters to me
It’s the purest test of my working thesis: one person, directing AI in English, replacing a vendor’s product for a real multi-company business. If it works, the “maybe we can resell it” question answers itself.
