Hi r/selfhosted,

A couple of years ago, I started building Jinear as a side project. Initially, it was just for personal use. Over time, my wife began using it to plan her PhD work, and later, a friend started using it in his small business. Based on their feedback and our needs, I continued developing it, gradually turning it into a more complete tool.

Eventually, I tried to turn it into a commercial product. I ran ads and explored different approaches, but despite the effort, I didn’t gain any paying users. At this point, I don't think i'll ever profit from it so i open sourced it.

Key features:

  • Workspaces, teams, and tasks
  • Tasks support reminders, comments, and file attachments
  • Google Calendar integration and calendar-based task views
  • Projects with milestones and task assignments
  • Public project feed pages (useful for client updates), with custom domain support
  • Usable as a PWA

Code and setup instructions are available here: https://gitlab.com/140crafts/use-jinear

I currently self-host my own Jinear instance on a Mac Mini at home. Also using jinear's custom domain support for pages to host my personal website and jinear product updates. I'm keeping registration open on my jinear instance for demo purposes.
