For the early birds

You are welcome to get an impression and provide early feedback. Step-by-step instructions can be found in our User Guide. Developers can skip this and move on to the Developer Guide.

All you need is a Web browser and Docker to run the server. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows. Note that we just started working on the UI and features are neither complete nor stable. Leave your email to get a release notification.

If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask in our help forum or contact us via email.

Why this has to be free software

The development of every commercial product is focused on monetization. We've built similar apps more than once and every single time the constraints of working in a profit-oriented corporate environment were an impediment. We are sure we can do better with only a fraction of the budget. Simplicity can be very powerful. Go, the programming language we're using, is a great example. It is heavily influenced by the ideas of Niklaus Wirth.

Simple, elegant solutions are more effective, but they are harder to find than complex ones, and they require more time, which we too often believe to be unaffordable. — NIKLAUS WIRTH, CACM, FEB. 1985
