@sinbad I tried Leantime a while ago, but they went down the AI and the "basic features are paid subscriptions and you cant hide the tab" road. OpenProject didnt feel very open to me as the community version missed many features. Taiga is nice and pretty minimalistic (think theryre working on a refactor called tenzu). But in the end I figured that using the Kanban and Bugtracking build into Forgejo which I use for VC anyway is sufficient for my needs.

its still a thin line of "I render it always in front so it doesnt get blocked but blocks other objects" or "I can't read it because its behind objects"
