What problem it solves

People need a task manager they can own and operate according to their own requirements. The project addresses this by providing a self-hostable task manager, development documentation, security reporting guidance, and both hosted and community-maintained options.

Key features

• Task management you control — Vikunja is presented as a task manager that users can own. The repository includes the Go application, frontend, configuration, and deployment-related files needed to run and develop the project.

Who it may suit

This project may suit individuals, teams, and organizations that want to operate their own task-management service or use a hosted option. Contributors may also suit developers interested in the Go backend, frontend, integrations, and self-hosted deployment.

Topics to discuss

• Which self-hosted deployment workflow should receive more complete in-repository documentation?

• Which task-management capabilities and integrations are most important for the community to improve next?

• How should the project communicate security fixes, account linking, and task-recovery changes to users?
