       | As an aside, is it just me or do a lot of these new project
       | management apps coopt Linear's style? Not saying that this is
       | completely derivative, the website just gave me those vibes (and
       | I won't sign up to try out the demo so maybe some screenshots on
       | the front page would be nice :P)

       | 
       | 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.

         | mail verification.

       | 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
       | more than a community driven one. It's great to see a project
       | like that getting some eyes and potentially attracting
       | contributors. If anything, the main website is a little
       | 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.

       | Hey y'all, I'm Andrej. The developer behind Kaneo. Sorry for not
       | inserting any screenshots. Honestly this software is still in
       | beta and I'm still working on this. Thank you for the feedback. I
       | had
       | 
       | - I will remove the sign ups for the demo - Add more screenshots
       | 
       | This is a passion project as someone mentioned. I love open
       | source and it will always stay free. Hopefully I'll be able to
       | share it whenever it's complete it.
       | 
       | PS: I had no idea this was posted here
       | 
       | Thank you all.
