This looks great! Do you have an ETA on 2 way synchronisation with Github?
- emixam 11y ago
  Thanks! The Github integration is already available under your project's settings in the "Service Integrations" tab.
  - nadc 11y ago
    Struggling to get GitHub integration working with a private repository - I'll message you via the help form in the app.

Just the one I asked below on how long/much it took you to get this together and the stack and tools used?
- jeromeflipo 11y ago
  Two developers have worked full-time on Kantree for 6 months. We're a four-people team with 3 devs and a business guy. It's pretty classical stack with Python + Postgres + Redis on the backend and Angular.js for the frontend.
  - boothead 11y ago
    Thanks! How about deployment, monitoring etc? Any regrets on the stack you've chosen or changes you'd make? If I may also ask, how did you fund it, and what's your revenue model? I'd like to make the leap one day to having some SaaS revenue, but all the apps I've seen seem (on the surface at least) like pretty hard markets to stand out in...

      Here's a board [0] that lists the various tools and services we use: https://kantree.io/b/5575a09d63-kantree-stack https://kantree.io/b/5575a09d63-kantree-stack We're is a worker cooperative, 100% bootstrapped (http://digicoop.io http://digicoop.io). We expect most of our revenues to come from Kantree. [1] http://digicoop.io http://digicoop.io

        That's awesome! I've been thinking for a while that coops make a huge amount of sense for software development. Thanks for putting the lists together! BTW have you read http://www.reinventingorganizations.com/ http://www.reinventingorganizations.com/? It's very pertinent to the kind of organisation you've built according to your team page. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts if you have.

I'd like to hear more about the self-hosted option: when that might become available, estimated pricing, directory service integration, etc.
- emixam 11y ago
  We are starting beta testing the self-hosted version this month among a limited number of testers. We're integrating with LDAP at first. Pricing starts at 150$/user/year with discounts the more seats you get. We will adjust the pricing as customers enroll. If you're interested in joining the beta, contact us at contact@kantree.io

Hi. Have you thought about adding WIP constraint warnings(flash red or something). It's fairly important in lean methodology.
- jeromeflipo 11y ago
  It's in the pipeline.

Small nitpick - the pricing page should be $7, not 7$.
- orthecreedence 11y ago
  This is correct. However, it's funny because when I'm writing stream of consciousness (or chatting with someone) I often write 4$ instead of $4 because I'm typing as I'm thinking, and I don't think "dollars of which there are four" but "four dollars" as number then unit following.

It looks cool. Can kantree import your Trello boards? I think if it can, then it could be a viable alternative. Otherwise, I think heavy Trello users might be too locked into trello to switch.
- jeromeflipo 11y ago
  Yes, you can import boards from Trello and Asana. There's a link to https://kantree.io/import/ https://kantree.io/import/ at the bottom of your dashboard.

Do you allow automated exports and/or some method to show change over time? It is very useful to show current vs. initial estimates, average effort overrun, average count of scope changes, etc.
