Whoa. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to look into that.

Hi. I just updated the pricing page to address most of the points in #1. It would be impossible for me to offer a trial since this software needs to be hosted on your own server. There's no lock in. It's on your own server so you have full

Yes, customers receive all updates for free. I should probably add that to the landing page.

It comes with an installation script that's pretty simple to use. You just need your database credentials. I can also install it for you if necessary.

Not yet. It's a highly requested feature though, so it will probably be among the first that I add. Along with the ability to download pdf invoices.

When I first decided to start building this product, I had just started my freelance career. I seriously considered ActiveCollab which is in the price range you're talking about, but I just didn't have the resources to buy it. I want this t

I rolled my own MVC implementations for the client and server. The backend is in php. The client MVC implementation uses Backbone events and the backbone router, but everything else is custom. jQuery of course, Twitter bootstrap, IconJar, s

The only requirements are php 5.3 and mysql (pdo).

Thanks! I actually did the sales page in 2 days. Foundation is great for putting together nice looking sites in a short amount of time.

Yes, I have a ton of plans for the app. I would have loved to build them all, but I probably would have never shipped if I tried. Right now I'm just gathering feedback and then I will start adding the features that people want most in a cou

Admittedly, I did not even think about printing. I will probably need to create a print stylesheet. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree. Handling support for this type of product is definitely a challenge. Especially since many customers don't have any experience installing anything on their servers. I've tried to make the installation process as simple as possible

Yeah, I have a support ticket open with my host. The demo is hosted on a vps with liquidweb. I thought it would be enough. I was wrong. :/
165.
by 23andwalnut 13y ago
Just PHP 5.3 and mysql. Any shared host will do.

by 23andwalnut 13y ago
Yes, I struggled with how that should work. I ended up deciding that the default 'project tab' should open whenever you navigate between projects, regardless of what tab you were viewing before. I'm definitely open to changing it if enough

I actually didn't use any frameworks (server or client). They always feel to heavy for what I'm trying to accomplish, especially php frameworks. I rolled my own MVC implementations for both the client & server. I've been thinking about

It definitely has something to do with the current load on my server. I didn't adequately plan for it at all. I should have at least compiled my less files and minified/concatenated my js files.

by 23andwalnut 13y ago
Yes, you need to keep the task open for the timer to continue to run. You would want it to keep running in the background? It seems like it would be easy to forget about if it's implemented that way...

by 23andwalnut 13y ago
Nope. That's a good idea, but not sure whether I'll add it. I will definitely be adding archive functionality within the next week or two though. So you can archive a file/project, which gets it out of your way until you want to see it agai

Thank! I use both fairly often. I have a strong preference for Foundation, but bootstrap has a lot more components, which is useful when I'm building web apps. Foundation is great for websites.

I've wanted a nice looking project/client management system that I could host on my server for quite some time. Unfortunately there are very few options that fit this criteria so I created my own. I would love some feedback - good or bad.

I thought that the title of the post had to start with 'Ask HN:' for it to end up in the Ask section. One of the posts you linked is actually my project and I definitely had no intention of being sneaky. Nor was I trying to bypass any rules

Just PHP 5.3 and MySql. Any host, even a shared godaddy server should be more than enough.

It's hard to say, the freedcamp landing page doesn't say much about the specifics of what it offers. The one thing that sticks out is that freedcamp is a hosted solution, just like Basecamp. Duet is self hosted, which is going to appeal to
