timnuwin··on Show HN: Taskfort – Self-Hostable Project Management / Kanban Tool
Hey Michael,

Thanks for the taking the time to give constructive feedback. I will try to make it more clear that the licenses are on a per-year basis, as well as visibly making the text on the homepage more clear. I have heard the term "on premise", and I agree I should use a more common phrase. I will update the language / terms later tonight. That will make it more official.

How do you think I should make it clear that you can create a free online account to test out the software yourself, or would you prefer a video?

Thanks thoughtpalette for the feedback. I will add that issue to the kanban developer board!

I just released the beta version of the site so I don't have any data-points yet. But I'm hopefully going to bank on enterprises mostly purchasing the software, and those are going to be entities that I know will most likely respect the per-user contracts. The entire source-code will be available to the customer once they purchase the license. I've had to make a lot of hacks when tailoring 3rd party software with pieces of their code closed-source, so I hope to alleviate that pain for other developers.

What type of software do you sell, and how are you currently charging clients?

Trello's pretty awesome, but there's no hosted version. Jira has a hosted kanban version but that's a tank. A lot of enterprises in the financial industry can't use 3rd party web-apps because they're hosted on someone else's server.

Thanks for the feedback. It will be open for just internal customization for customers. This was a huge pain-point for me when dealing with 3rd party software vendors.

I will implement that word change later and possibly get some screenshots up! Users are free to check out the board in action here w/ no signup: https://www.taskfort.com/view/10
