Looks really good!

Here is an open-source version I made called TaskGraph [1], a fork from uber/react-digraph[2]. I made it for my startup [3] because I didn't really like Jira in the context of 3 people.

We have been using it for a couple of months and it works really well. Apologies in advance for the lack of documentation. If you have any questions by all means.

TaskGraph has:

- Task status (todo/in-progress/done)

- Task completion estimation (admittedly it assumes you can work perfectly in parallel which is a bit of a stretch.)

I made something similar - GamePlan [1] (not open source though

It's a visual task/planning tool. Does estimates, task grouping, resources, a bunch of different constraints, critical paths, and lots of other stuff.

I'm in the process of adding costing to it, and its a lot of fun to use.

I use it for all my pre-planning of projects, just to get a feel of feasibility

Wow that's really cool, thanks for sharing

Nice! I got TaskGraph running locally, but couldn't figure out how to create a node. Seems like it's built on the same basic idea as Intention though - tasks structured into a graph. I'd be very interested to hear how you get on with TaskGraph.

Shift-Click to create a node.

Then click on the node to modify it's attributes.

Shift click and drag to other nodes to create dependencies. The dependencies should auto-snap into place. The algorithm used for this works most of the time. Our current taskgraph at openquery has ~50 nodes and it works quite well.

I don't have cycle-checking so be careful or your browser tab will blow up.

Got it, the app works well. I did consider using `react-digraph` for Intention, but the UX seems very focused on desktop (lots of clicking and dragging) and I wanted something more mobile focused.
