Tings.co is a simple to use, intuitive project management webapp. It was designed with creatives in mind as it is best used for tracking personal projects.
Users are able to create new projects, add tasks, give them labels and use these labels to easily filter through their todo list.
No deadlines, no comment system, no team collaboration features. Tings focuses only on what's important: GETTING THINGS DONE.
I, like many other creatives (Developers, Designers, Content Creators etc) have personal projects to help me stay motivated and explore new avenues.
The problem is that none of the tools currently available allowed me to track my projects in a simple way. I used Trello, Todoist, Google Keep and even real post-it notes without much success.
All I wanted was a place where I can aggregate my projects and tasks, with a clean and unobtrusive UI. A place to easily add new tings to do and get on with my work.
If I'm honest, I also used this opportunity to learn and solifify my knowledge of the technologies listed below.
The database is PostgreSQL. It's solid and functional. Never had problems with it.
The Backend is written in Python using Flask. Python because it's my favourite language. Clean, descriptive and minimal. And Flask for the flexibility and control it gives me over the code I write.
The Backend essentially acts as a RESTful API that serves JSON to a client application written in React
I was growing tired of Angular 1.x so I decided it was time to switch things up and try something new.
The styling is done using sass (the indented flavour).
The app is served behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy.
Depending on the level of adoption, I have plans to create a cross-platform mobile version and maybe a desktop client using electron.
In terms of devops, I would also like to Dockerise Tings.
When released the app will be free. A paid version will be available in the form of a subscription plan which will include a few extra goodies and features.
The app is currently under heavy developement and is therefore not ready for prime time yet.
