I ran an open source project management system for years and I'll say: Good luck. In short, everyone has their own dreams, preferences, (perceived)needs, and workflows and they are usually unwilling to tweak their own approach and would rather have a tool that fits them. They may be right that their "needs" are truly needs instead of just preferences but either way, you end up with a swarm of nasty little variations…
I haven't tried the app yet and wanted to make sure it had one deal breaker feature: does it integrate with Github issues/PRs? When something goes wrong, I look at the code, recent changes to it, and the discussion that happened in writing that code. I'm not interested in anything that washes its hands of scope when the item is marked done. I want easy ways of getting back to all that data long after it's marked done…
"Our story" page doesn't tell us anything about you, the founders, team etc. Before I give you access to my Google data, it would be nice to know who you are and your backgrounds.

As a side conversation, this project and how you described it made me think about why I have such issues with Jira. Jira is actually fucking useless to me. To the business, it's indispensible because it captures the larger tasks that roll up to a larger business objective. However, for each of those larger tasks I have a series of conversations and cross-functional dependencies that must be negotiated. More basically, my minutiae is much more than the larger tasks can ever describe, and that minutiae is much too noisy for the business to track - which is why we cover it informally in stand ups.
What I need is something offline that tracks my minutiae like stories where the larger tasks (that are currently stories to the business) get tracked like epics on my end.
I say this from the perspective of working at a very large, top-level engineering firm.
If you're looking for broad adoption, I'd focus heavily on your interop and portability story: import and export. If it's easy to try with "bring your own extant content", and mitigated risk of lockin via robust export, the PKM / TFT community will be much more likely to engage. And the community per se is a huge factor in such tools' appeal and viabilty.
Thanks for sharing, good on you for actually shipping, and good luck!

I will try it out soon! Good luck!
Does it have offline support? This is the one thing I'm missing the most about Notion, Miro, Google Calendar, and all of this - offline support. In German trains, I'm offline, on flights, I'm often offline; while traveling, I'm often offline. Offline capabilities are often neglected.
It's rare to see offline support in a web app for a few reasons: LocalStorage is easy to use but too limited at 50Mb. WebSQL got deprecated by FireFox because of secuirty issues years ago ( albeit is still somewhat supported in Chrome ). The FileSystem API looked promising, and then google killed it. IndexedDb is the only option, it's slow on writes, therefore requiring major hacks like absurd-sql to be performant. I…
The File System Access API [0] exists today. Unfortunately it's only Chrome based browsers, and not Firefox supporting this. Mayby you referred to an older "standard".

Pretty cool! Congratulations on launching a useful product. As a side conversation, this project and how you described it made me think about why I have such issues with Jira.
