We believe in what we're building - Release 0.7.0

Wrote at January 22, 2025

Hey! ๐Ÿ‘‹

This release is packed with improvements (UI, UX, Workflows and Code) that together makes our overall experience much more enjoyable and cohesive (also sets the base for future features ๐Ÿ‘€ ).

We believe in what we're building

We eat our own cooking: that's why we're using the free edition to manage multiple projects (with more than 1 person using it too...).

There's still a lot to come in the future but - even with so much to create and improve - the experience has already been great!

That's our goal: a solution that's simple yet powerful, designed to handle your projects, time, tasks and teams seamlessly.

We donโ€™t have a โ€œPublic board sharingโ€ feature just yet, so take a look at this board:


๐ŸŽ‰ What's New

Optional http basic auth

For some users exposing the app to the internet it may be a little difficult to setup basic HTTP AUTH using their current infrastructure. So now you can enable this by running our app with these env variables:

  • HTTP_AUTH_USER - For the username
  • HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD - For the password

Don't forget that if you want to expose any service to the internet it's strongly recommended that you setup a certificate and use HTTPS.

UI/UX enhancements for creating new columns and cards

  • When we're adding a new card to a board, it's height is automatically adjusted
  • A new "Create Column" fixed on top of the board
  • After a new column is created it scrolls to the newly created column
  • The newly created column appears with an animation

Issues have their own URL

This is cool because:

  • We may want to favorite an Issue using the browser
  • If more than one person is using the app it's very helpful to have a issue link to share
  • This allows referencing issues inside another by writing the issue link in the description
  • When entering the issue url in the browser, the board scrolls to the corresponding card

Issue URL is friendly!

The issue url is short and contains the issue title. - This makes our life much more easier for reading a shared link - Facilitates the browser URL Search

Issue URL allows navigation

You can hit the back button to go back to the issue URL.

Dynamic page titles

Page titles now changes according to the page being visited and includes the project + issue name.

This helps bookmarking a page and also looking for a specific page by just typing it's title in the browser URL bar.

Time Tracking

  • When creating a new time entry, selecting a project and pressing TAB the focus will go to the next input and not the Go To Board link.
  • Saving a time entry by pressing CTRL/CMD + Enter when description is focused
  • You can go the board or the issue using the time entry link


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What's fixed

A very specific bug specimen was discovered ๐Ÿ›.

Before when we moved a card to another column, deleted the column and tried to open the card (without refreshing the page) the modal would not open. This was happening because the "issue url" needed to be updated after the card repositioning.


๐Ÿ’ซ What's next

Here's what you can expect for the near feature.

  • Issue List: Some people are asking for this, we've though about that and agreed that it would be a bad experience if we didn't have an issue list in this free version because it would make difficult to manage long running projects.
  • Alerts for long running timers, viewing time tracked inside an issue.
  • A focus space that you can activate and drop your thoughts, todo's, timers and listen to some relaxing or concentration music.
