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.
As an author of a DevOps tool [1] based around Compose files, I beg to differ! It should be pretty easy to adapt the config from the README to use in medium-scale production setups [2] (the only thing that comes to mind is a reverse proxy perhaps).
I think I’ll add Kaneo to the Lunni Marketplace after some more testing!

[2]: Read: small to medium sized businesses, startups without a lot of funding etc.
With documentation on why it was chosen and the function it serves, I (the IT Engineer) am better able to communicate this back to leaders pitching a fit over Broadcom's name on there as well as brief on alternatives. Not saying it's right, just a frustrating reality.
- Put screenshots on the landing page
- If I click "Try Demo" I just get sent to a log in page and I have no idea what to do next. I don't even want to try a demo, I just want to know what the damn product looks like. If I've got to create an account just to see your product, that's an instant bounce from me.
Fixing both of those would be ideal, but fixing even one would be a massive help.
- 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.
Let me add one and a half. : )
Comparison / advantages (even if anticipated rather than current) over competitive products in this space, which I assume are things like Planka, Kanboard, and other similarly generous and responsibly licensed kanban/project-management tools.
Tangentially related, in your documentation a discussion around your architecture decisions - f.e. rabbitmq, sqlite.
I hope the product is different, but I have no way to find out since no public demo.
- 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.
Not necessarily true. Id like to replace jira in an enterprise environment and we do need sso and prefer to self host.
Jira used to be self hosted, dunno if they still are, but this space for a self hosted enterprise product is already pretty saturated so you should have lots of options.
Little technical nitpick - I would have prioritized moving off of a shared-volume sqlite database before introducing a backend message queue.
Also, I was mostly interrested to have a look at the "project timeline" but it's not obvious where to access that. Same goes for the automation part. How to access that?
Again, thank you HackerNews, this is a dream to me and I can't believe the traction this projected received.
It would be surprising if anyone broke out of free tier and it makes hosting a breeze.

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)
After I clicked on the demo link, I want to be able to use all functions
landing page
I’ve signed up for the demo and here’s some feedback:
- Forms should display some kind of feedback while being submitted. Maybe put a spinner on the button? To test that it works correctly, you can set up net throttling in the browser devtools.
- Onboarding could be more straightforward: instead of the Create your first workspace screen, just show the form directly. Same with the first project: you can even show the form while the workspace is being created perhaps, to minimize the wait.
- Right now, every reload blocks on a GET /me request. Looking at a spinner for a few seconds doesn’t feel great! Perhaps you can cache current user data? (you can then update it in the background, a-la SWR)
- By the way: maybe returning password hash in GET /me isn’t a great idea :^)
- On the project page, it seems to connect to the same websocket endpoint 5 times. I didn’t read the source code yet but I think there’s something weird going on with the state management?
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything.
I know a lot of people have crazy expectations from open-source projects these days - and many of the comments here echo those, but you can gradually evolve it at your own pace. You don't owe folks anything.
The Compose file sets up a volume for it, so the data is persisted correctly.
[1]: If everything’s set up correctly, there shouldn’t be concurrent writes to the SQLite db, and it should scale pretty well then. (The RabbitMQ + SQLite stack is a bit weird, I agree.)
Source: Senior IT Engineer who likes K8s as a concept, but is incredibly disappointed with its unnecessary complexity and everyone's insistence on its use without understanding its role or purpose.
Though of course it’s nice if you pre-add it, it’s nothing people can’t do themselves.

Edit: looks like I managed to break my instance without even trying. I can't edit my first task that I created.
https://demo.kaneo.app/dashboard/workspace/nyxfpvfgkk412xg4n...
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in as billg@microsoft.com
2. Click on workspace Microsoft Blue
3. Click on project DataCenters
4. Click on the first task, DAT-1 Build data centers around the world
5. Observe the screen just says "Task edit" with nothing else there.It's the webpage that should be friendlier to people who just want to toy and explore their app before committing to get it running in production.
