Post Description

Hi HN, I've been working on building this tool for myself and my software dev shop so I can easily share project specific + interactive views with my clients.

Have been slowly adding/improving the platform over the last 9 months and while I'm sure there are still some gaps, it's at a point where it would be nice to share with the community.

As per the domain, the intention for this is to always be 100% free with MIT license.

Current plan is to try and polish the UI to the level of Linear + try and replicate the sync engine experience (as close as possible noting that Linear API is the main bottleneck).

Any feedback is welcome either on here or as an issue :)
