I think the feedback was, this looks like a very simple (but possibly useful) app, it should not have such heavy dependencies.

What's heavy about any of that? I don't know what Tomcat is, but Docker is just a means of installing and running software in a VM(if host isn't Linux), Java is a perfectly fine language and runtime, and Postgres is a powerful and widely-used database. Any other self-hosted web app would require at least a language runtime and a database.

Tomcat is a web server. Possibly thrown in as a word to be more verbose when making a point.

To me, size of the image is more important than the number of servers in it.

Uranus, seriously? "Don't forget about that important meeting we've got tomorrow" "Boss, shove it in Uranus"

Those stupid jokes are why we'll have to rename the planet in the future (according to Futurama). It'll be called Urectum. Also a great name for Memo and Task apps.

Could Mianus be worked into this somehow?

- Hey boss, we all set for that meeting in Mianus?

- Sure thing, I’ve got the notes in Uranus.

Thanks for your explaining! I understood now. Honestly, I didn’t have any idea to this project but I like names of planets or gods, so I named this as Uranus!

This is such a common joke that it has meta-jokes based on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czFnIvKOJY (That's the "urectum" bit from Futurama)

Aha! Guys above said just this common joke! OK, thanks for your kindness^^

Thanks for your opinion! Actually, I cared about the size of images but I think I could do more efforts on it! Next time, I’ll try to do so!

Thanks for your explaining! I determined to do so!

Tiny suggestion: GIFs showing someone enter “a”, “b”, and “c” as their tasks tell me that this is more about the system and tech than what it’s like to use it to handle tasks in a real situation. Surely there must be a good example of a real world scenario where moving things around in a hierarchy is useful?

I fixed it! How about recent ones?
