I've wanted a nice looking project/client management system that I could host on my server for quite some time. Unfortunately there are very few options that fit this criteria so I created my own. I would love some feedback - good or bad.

This is excellent and I love the single price rather than a monthly fee (it's one of the reasons I bought amaon)

Very nice. Is it possible to recover deleted files / projects?

Looks great!

I noticed the website uses Foundation while the actual app uses Bootstrap. Any reason? Having used both, do you prefer one or the other?

What is required to host?

Thank! I use both fairly often. I have a strong preference for Foundation, but bootstrap has a lot more components, which is useful when I'm building web apps. Foundation is great for websites.

Nope. That's a good idea, but not sure whether I'll add it. I will definitely be adding archive functionality within the next week or two though. So you can archive a file/project, which gets it out of your way until you want to see it again.

There's already at least one "beautiful self-hosted Basecamp alternative" out there: Collabtive

...and it's free (FOSS).
