## What it is
Taskcafe is an open-source, self-hosted project management tool with a Kanban board interface for organizing tasks with due dates, labels, checklists, comments, and activity tracking. It is built with a Go/GraphQL backend and a React/TypeScript frontend, deployable via Docker.

## Use cases
- self-host a kanban board for personal projects
- manage tasks with due dates, labels, and checklists
- track assigned tasks across projects in one view
- replace Trello with an open-source alternative
- organize team work with task comments and activity history

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, MIT-licensed Kanban tool you control
- you prefer a lightweight Trello-like board with personal projects
- you can deploy with Docker and want a GraphQL API backend

## When to avoid

- you require enterprise features like SSO, reporting, or Gantt charts
- you need actively maintained software with frequent releases
