Hey HackerNews, last month, Kaneo, my pet project which is open source ended up here. I saw a wide amount of reactions and these past weeks I took all your suggestions and tried to do as much as possible. It's a pet project where I try to give people valuable software which will always be free.

In the upcoming week, I plan to add a GitHub integration and of course, make this a better project as time goes on.

If you suggested something previously, I want to thank you and I'll try to get back to y'all as much as possible.

After cooling off for some days, I made the demo open for everyone. I'm still trying to process all the requests.

Again, thank you HackerNews, this is a dream to me and I can't believe the traction this projected received.


Hello, sorry for not making the demo accessible without an account. Currently there's an open issue which I'm working on to do so. This project under heavy development, sorry for the troubles.


Hey, thank you for your feedback and I agree. This project is still under heavy development and one of the lovely HN people opened an issue regarding this. I'll get to make the demo accessible without any accounts. Thank you!


Hey, thank you for the feedback. I have created an issue to add a quick start for Kubernetes as well. Most of my decisions behind this project is to make it super "dumb" and easy to use. Thank you so much for the feedback!


Ah, I was thinking more from the perspective of the consuming party ;)

Though of course it’s nice if you pre-add it, it’s nothing people can’t do themselves.


Hey, thank for your feedback. This product wasn't meant to be posted since it's under heavy development. I will add some more screenshots and make the demo possible without signing up.


Hey y'all, I'm Andrej. The developer behind Kaneo. Sorry for not inserting any screenshots. Honestly this software is still in beta and I'm still working on this. Thank you for the feedback. I had

- I will remove the sign ups for the demo - Add more screenshots

This is a passion project as someone mentioned. I love open source and it will always stay free. Hopefully I'll be able to share it whenever it's complete it.

PS: I had no idea this was posted here

Thank you all.


Appreciate it must be frustrating to get a lot of (repeated) suggestions for things that are already further down your todo list.

Let me add one and a half. : )

Comparison / advantages (even if anticipated rather than current) over competitive products in this space, which I assume are things like Planka, Kanboard, and other similarly generous and responsibly licensed kanban/project-management tools.

Tangentially related, in your documentation a discussion around your architecture decisions - f.e. rabbitmq, sqlite.


The fact that it is trending on HN despite the lack of adequate Kandi g page material indicates there is demand for such an app. Keep working on it!


agree, the feedback is a sign of market demand. thanks for sharing this, going to check it out :)

Hi Andrej, thanks for building this and congrats on getting to the first page!

I’ve signed up for the demo and here’s some feedback:

- Forms should display some kind of feedback while being submitted. Maybe put a spinner on the button? To test that it works correctly, you can set up net throttling in the browser devtools.

- Onboarding could be more straightforward: instead of the Create your first workspace screen, just show the form directly. Same with the first project: you can even show the form while the workspace is being created perhaps, to minimize the wait.

- Right now, every reload blocks on a GET /me request. Looking at a spinner for a few seconds doesn’t feel great! Perhaps you can cache current user data? (you can then update it in the background, a-la SWR)

- By the way: maybe returning password hash in GET /me isn’t a great idea :^)

- On the project page, it seems to connect to the same websocket endpoint 5 times. I didn’t read the source code yet but I think there’s something weird going on with the state management?

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything.


This looks fantastic. Thanks for open-sourcing this. For a passion project this looks really polished and well done.

I know a lot of people have crazy expectations from open-source projects these days - and many of the comments here echo those, but you can gradually evolve it at your own pace. You don't owe folks anything.
