Hoteleiro: Simplified management for hotels and inns
Source: Dev.to
This is a submission for the DEV’s Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Presented by Mux
What I Built
Hoteleiro is a Property Management System (PMS) built to modernize small and medium‑sized inns and hotels. It targets independent properties on the coast of Brazil (where I live) that still rely on “spreadsheet chaos” or paper logs. It combines a professional management arsenal with an interface that is as simple to use as a messaging app.

⚠️ Note: Hoteleiro is still a work in progress. You might encounter rough edges or features that are still being polished.
The Story Behind It
This project quick‑started with a group of Computer Science students at UESPI (State University of Piauí). After observing the routine of small hotels in the coastal region, we realized that independent owners were either stuck with manual logs or forced to use expensive, bloated software designed for large chains.
That is why we (@katriellucas, @dymas, and @heron_nepomuceno) built Hoteleiro. Our goal was to make technology simple, human, and accessible for the people running these businesses. Winning the Startup NE program (backed by Sebrae and the Brazilian government) only confirmed the massive potential of the application and the impact it can have in our region.
Technical Highlights
We made Hoteleiro light enough to run on “serverless” setups, allowing it to stay within the free hosting tiers offered by most platforms.
Core technologies
- Svelte 5 – frontend framework for a fast, snappy UI.
- PocketBase – backend that handles the database and authentication out of the box.
- Zod – schema validation to keep data clean and reliable.
- Temporal – robust date‑time handling for complex booking logic.
- Paraglide – translation management for a multilingual app.
These tools let us iterate quickly while keeping hosting costs low.
Thanks
Thanks to the DEV community and Mux for this challenge. It was a great opportunity for us to step back and look at what we’ve built. We’re excited about the future of Hoteleiro!
