Would be great to have a self-hosted version for the lifetime plan

Sorry, we don't have a self-hosted version now.

Every non-FOSS piece of software I've ever deployed slowly degrades over time as founders get greedy or need to recoup costs from investors. Plex is the canonical example. Linux is the canonical counterexample.

Sorry, I've been burned enough times by this now that if your software is not FOSS, I'm not deploying it. Your take is not a good look.

For an open source alternative, check out Focalboard [0]. Note however it is backed by a for-profit company, but the code is open and can be compiled from source (so you can thus remove all telemetry and paid upsell nonsense).

It's look very good and just what I need. I'm using a trial version right now, but can't seem to invite guests? (If I purchase a license I would like to invite clients). Edit: Below the 'read more' I found the answer "Invite guests/clients into lists to collaborate (upcoming)"

I'm excited to try this. I've done the same dance with PM tools over the years and had similar experiences to OP. I've always ended up back on Teamwork which is amazing but they do a hard sell and the price per head is prohibitive for people in my situation (2 person agency, no interest in "10 seat pricing"). Will be good to check it out!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm a solo founder working on a project management tool which supports markdown. Take a look. :) https://macroapp.io

I like the idea behind this tool. All the best with the development.

Thanks!

Looks nice. do you have a mobile app?

No mobile app right now. (Too much todo already ).

The site is responsive, however the mobile UX could be improved for sure.

Small note: on the clickup comparison item 4 you have a grammatical error. "Upbase have..." Rather than "Upbase has..."

I think it’s a US vs British English thing. Company names are plural in one and singular in the other.

I just bought the lifetime license, because it looks useful and I hope you're successful. Reminds me a lot of the self hosted https://duetapp.com

Thanks so much for your support! We'll try our best to make the app great!

I like your self-hosted pricing model, I ended up with the same for my analytics platform[0] (Lifetime license + 12 months updates and support) after many attempts.

Oh wait, you are the creator of https://upbase.io, not https://duetapp.com, sorry for the confusion!
