@slashdot Oooerr 🤔 A free as in beer open source web based vector app that supports SVG you say hmmm 🤔

@prologic web based. I will read more about it, and see if it can be self hosted.
The same guys also built Taiga which looks like a pretty decent open source and self hostable Kanban I might try out 👌

So I _tried_ to give this a proper go. Here's my opinion so far:
- Managed to get it up and running ✅
- Requires a Postgres DB ❌
- Requires 9 containers/services ❌
- Consumes ~1GB of RAM (_without any load_) ❌
- Is written in Python using Djanga ❌
So this is basically a FAIL for me. Sorry. I can't justify using and running this. I'm glad it exists, it's nice that it's all open source, but man they _could_ have picked some better stack and tech. Really. 🤦♂️
Here's a nice mosaic of what I found:

@prologic *Nine* containers?!? What the hell does it do with them? A *gigabyte* of RAM? I don't even think my web browser is using that much right now!
@mckinley Yeap I kid you not, proof in the grafana graphs in my previous Twt. 🤦♂️ Like seriously wtf bbq?! 😂

@fastidious If their other product Penpot is anything like their first product Taiga, I'm not holding my breath. 😳

And I'm not saying I'm any _better_ at writing software, I make heaps of rookie mistakes and fuck things up all the time 😂 But seriously, developers need to learn (_or relearn_) resources are NOT free mofos 🤣

@prologic But... but surely... writing software can't be _that difficult_ can it? 😂
