I’m a very strange man who wants to storage all his data on own hardware. But currently most of projects management software are online services. I like to use internet as a communication tool but never want to give all my plans away from my disk. Maybe I’m just old, maybe I’m paranoid 🙂 Because I don’t found a satisfactory solution. I start working on my own.
The main assumptions for me was:
- Agile project management – I like kanban/scrum boards
- Full changes history – some time I need to check when and why I make some decisions
- Statistics – stats give me a lot of motivation to work (harder!)
- Easy search – I can quickly change some story state
- No servers, services – when I search solution I found a lot of projects that I can install on my own system. But I need to install apache, mysql, php or sometimes tomcat. That makes my computer slower and discharge it battery faster. Many times configuration was painful and I need to take care of security (firewall, update services) and backups (I really don’t like make mysql dumps).
- Save project to file – I like save project documentation in my mercurial/git repository, that makes a nice feature. When you checkout older project sources you see the same state of project documentation and all what you were working at that time.
- Native app – I don’t like apps that need for example 1GB of RAM to work. Mostly apps that I use during my work time. So it should be native app.
- Modern design – I like when things look good, that inspire me and help me to do better apps.
- Easy backup – by adding project file to sources repository
- Simplicity – Should be easy to use and ready to work after installation
