What is rebacklogs?
Re:Backlogs is an open-source project management application that teams and individuals can host themselves. It follows the Backlogs methodology with separate areas for backlogs, sprints, stories, and tasks, and also provides Kanban boards. The interface includes several built-in color themes, and real-time updates arrive via WebSocket. Users can sign in with GitHub or Google accounts, or use the built-in username/password system. The stack is Rails with a React frontend, and PostgreSQL is the required database. Deployment uses Docker Compose on port 3000. The license is MIT plus a clause that forbids selling the software as a hosted service.
