Background
I completed my bachelor's degree in mid-2020. I always made it a point to put whatever meaningful projects I built on GitHub. That combined with forks of some projects and a few more projects that I actively managed left me with more than 50 repos.
I was already looking for some tool which can provide me an overview of all my repos and categorize and manage them in a better way, but couldn't find anything which exactly fit the bill. So I decided to build it on my own.
How I built it
I had to make choices about tech stacks and though I wanted to explore new horizons I decided to go with the tools and technologies I am most comfortable with in-order to build a solid stable application.
I have deployed Flask apps earlier, but this is the first time I deployed a Django application. The DNS management service provided by DigitalOcean is great.
Additional Resources/Info
-
Libraries / frameworks used:
- Semantic-UI React for styling
- React-Trello for boards
- React-Quill for rich-text editor
- Django and Django Rest Framework for api
- Django Rest Knox for better token management
- Daphne for deployment
- drf-spectacular for API docs
DigitalOcean’s App Platform is pretty good but the Docker builds take longer than expected and monorepo support can be improved.

Best one to use.
Someone is gonna argue me that Asana is best free tool, but delete your whole project and still it will keep notifying future deadline of same project dates you have set!
