This is really nice. What is the tech stack? One quick thing i noticed, When i enter new section name and press tab, it is ignored unlike if you press enter, at least in board view. I'd imagine pressing tab after input is typical user behaviour.

We mainly use Golang for BE, Vuejs for FE.

I got your point on section naming behavior. We'll optimize it in the upcoming days.

As someone whose team just got bitten - again - by Jira descriptions being overwritten by an unwitting user with unsaved changes, I feel you. I just can’t imagine why it isn’t easy to recover a previous description and its formatting. Jira solves the larger collaboration problems, but blows it on the small stuff. I spent the next hour fuming and imagining how it would work if it was done right (i.e. the way I thought…

It is very easy to recover a previous version of the description field in Jira. Jira keeps a full change log / audit log of every change to the description field and other fields. You can definitely roll back to an old version of the description field or see what changes were made and when by whom.

Is it possible to create links between documents? It doesn't seem to be a slash command or markdown syntax.

Not yet, at the moment. The Docs feature is still pretty basic, and we plan to make a lot of improvements to it.

To me personally, your product description here at HN (on top of this page) is more to the point than the copy on the homepage!

And for me it's quite the contrary - the description on HN says nothing about how it actually works, it looks just like whining and flaming and bragging.

Have you looked at Sunsama? I have few ideas on how you can improve this with lots of integrations. I can be reached at fameoflight@gmail.com if you want to chat.

Thanks for your support. I'll reach out to you in a few days to learn more about them.

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.

Offline support is costly, and we do not have the resources for it yet. For businesses that have a lot of small customers, offline support is challenging.

To add why: the ecosystem is immature. I am building a decentralized app (the old way) but with an event sourced architecture (append-only list of JSON events/commands).

The storage itself is trivial but for everything else (queries, syncing, conflicts, validation, permissions, schema changes) there's little support and I had to make my own stuff. It works for me, because because I only have 2-3 entities but your app is much more complex, so I wouldn't recommend it even if you started from scratch.

I will say that there's nothing that really stops offline aside from ecosystem support and maturity. All it really takes is a medium-big well maintained project that solves 80-90% of use cases. I think CRDTs are promising for the data layer because it simplifies the API surface (at the expense of complex implementation).

If there is 1 feature that all of these tools neglected, it's speed. They are way too slow loading huge Javascript libraries unnecessarily. By the way, what you are building looked almost exactly like Wrike.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Agree with you that speed is super important to have a great experience.

If you test it out for some time, you'll see that it's much different from Wrike.
