| Personal feedback:
|
| * Docker Compose is sufficient for a Quick Start, but not
| production installation. Needs substantially more documentation
| about production-ready setups at the very least, especially
| security considerations.
|
| * Would also add additional Quick Start guides for Kubernetes.
|
| * Documentation should also cover rationale behind prerequisite
| choices. RabbitMQ is Broadcom's domain, and there's a lot of sour
| grapes out there who want to steer clear of them, MPL-licensed or
| not. If alternatives won't be suggested or offered, then at least
| explain why a given piece was chosen so other builders can
| explore contributing alternatives.
|
| All in all, the essentials seem to be coming along nicely. Just
| take the time to document, document, document now, so you're not
| treading technical debt later should its use take off.

| No screenshot, no video, can't middle-click on any of the links.
| This is a terrible landing page!
|
| I hope the product is different, but I have no way to find out
| since no public demo.

| The feature cards trying to look like stacks is also weird. In
| addition, I would expect clicking on (say) "Visual Task
| Management" to show a page with a more detailed description of
| that feature, along with screenshots showcasing it. Lastly, the
| page doesn't seem to support light mode.

| Looking at the GitHub project, this looks to be a passion project

| misleading in this regard.
|
| Little technical nitpick - I would have prioritized moving off of
| a shared-volume sqlite database before introducing a backend
| message queue.

| Congratulations on the release. While I echo the sentiments from
| others that screenshots or a video would've been very useful, the
| signup works without an email confirmation which is great, so I
| was able to see how the interface looks like. It has a very
| linear like feel https://linear.app/.
|
| - If you could deploy a demo that doesn't require a signup/sign
| in, it'll make things a lot easier. You can reset it every x
| hours.
|
| - The feature list is empty as I can't see what it offers or a
| comparison to other tools.
|
| - After creating a task, I can't edit it.
|
| Project management is very complicated and there's different
| groups of users, which one is yours? Those who need a full
| fledged jira with sso? they won't self host and won't care if
| it's open source. Small shops that need something cheap?
| Hobbyists or students?
|
| I'm selfhosting vikunja https://vikunja.io/ at the moment.
| Opensource and supports my selfhosted sso.

| Once again kudos on releasing and opensourcing it.

| This is a passion project as someone mentioned. I love open

|
| PS: I had no idea this was posted here
|
| Thank you all.
