#2Looks cool. But you have split up the licenses as Apache and AGPL. Why the split? You could prevent the likes of AWS competition with a blanket AGPL etc... Am I missing something? Or is Apache license OSS some derivative work and from another project?

#4It would’ve been more convenient to me if this project provided standalone downloads for macOS and Windows. The current downloads for the Desktop version are only available through the respective app stores on these two platforms.

#5It's easy to miss that this is by the same people making Mattermost, the open-source self-hosted slack alternative you might have heard of.

#6This would be easier to test out if I could just run a docker image instead of doing a whole nginx configuration.

Maybe it's a means of last resort to prevent the work from effectively going to waste in case of bankruptcy/low adoption?

Yeah this seems like a pretty serious initiative, kind of surprised they're not offering their own hosting though.

#10I just downloaded and tested the standalone desktop app. It has a very pretty and responsive interface compared to Kanboard.
I have been self hosting Kanboard on my rpi for my own work, and I think that Kanboard still has many 'poweruser' features that Focalboard is missing.
If there is an easy way for me to migrate my Kanboard data over to Focalboard, I would definitely give it a shot as a daily driver.
