What you give up vs Trello

  • Feature set is early-stage; lacks advanced views like Gantt, timeline, or calendar
  • No native integrations with developer tools (GitHub, GitLab, Jira)
  • Time tracking and reporting capabilities are not present
  • Primary deployment target is Kubernetes, which raises the barrier for smaller teams

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Kaneo on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill when you self-host (Trello: paywalls on power-ups and automation).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
