Rather than becoming an employee for others, I'd aim to start my own company. And looking at the set of your skills, which are better than a lot of people older than you, you could make that a reality. Also, some honest advice: You should sell this. Don't give anything away for free!

My goal is to achive a business model like PostHog and Calcom, where the app is basically free for individuals and companies, but I charge money for enterprise features and support!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You have to add a People Column to the Board in the top right corner, in which you can assign someone. The private beta is refering to the versions before v0.1, when there wasn't a publicly hosted version.

Thanks but I have no idea how to do that, maybe I'm not even in the "board view" for starter. Ok, found it, the small + icon. I would suggest to make it more obvious that this icon hides all the nice stuff

The onboarding is something I need to work on! I plan on having a basic example of some board right after you sign up.

This looks really good. Thank you for your hard work. I would like this kind of tool to be integrated with a Mozilla Ubiquity style interface or Sublime Text command palette and integrations with Zapier, so we can actually build things with the tool.

I agree! Integrations with tools like Zappier, Activepieces, etc are definitely super userful and already planned:

Thanks, I am planning to use the posthog / calcom business model, by making an awesome product which is free to use. But charge money for enterprise features or support. I created an issue for that bug: https://github.com/Tablane/tablane/issues/15

This is really impressive work. I’m the founder of posthog - James at you can guess it dot com. If you decide to get a dev job, and you think you’d learn a lot here, happy to chat!

Awesome!

I already applied 2 weeks ago, but was denied with the reason that you are currently looking for more experienced developers: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/pull/4922

Hey, that's pretty neat! I'm a Redux maintainer, and it's always great to see people building things with Redux Toolkit / RTK Query. Congrats!

I went through all different redux version, by starting with writing every Reducer myself (I know now this is not recommended anymore), then switching to redux toolkit, and finally realized what I actually need is Server Side State with RTK Query!

Nice job so far! One thing that would help onboarding, I think, may be an initial/sample/example/default workspace with some illustrative sections and tasks. It's a bit too empty/minimal up front, but I see some potential/promise here for sure. Again, nice work!

Thanks for the feedback! That is definitely something I am going to add. (a workspace setup like in the https://tablane.net preview)

Awesome job! I noticed two issues on your landing page which I didn't see mentioned yet. The first link in the nav bar points to the frontpage but it's not shown as active and that isn't apparent from the link text either, so it seems like a broken link. The "Open app" & "Get started" links break the browsers back button. These are the first links I'd click, and at this point I have no idea what I'm even signing in t…

Thanks! I created an issue for that bug: https://github.com/Tablane/tablane/issues/15

I've seen a lot of discussion about my choice of looking for a job directly after Highschool. Reasons against college - I recently visited a College Conference and wans't really impressed by any of them, mainly because their presented curriculum where basic js, css, html, react, easy leetcode algorithms which I already know - I don't really happy with my current position in School, where I sit and listen to the teach…

You have a good instinct there. Go work for as long as you think it's rewarding, and maybe in a few years you might want to go to university and then you can easily work part time as a freelancer. You'll be one of the few students who don't have to worry about money. Anyway, do whatever motivates you the most right now! If you're interested in working in Berlin, send me message, I might be able to give you some recom…

Hi, definitely interested! I couldn't find any contact information on your HN account.
