I manage a few projects at work. I really am unsatisfied with modern tools available to me for that purpose. I had always envisioned a tool that I could interact with visually for this purpose. I started building one many years ago but the graphics programming was beyond my capabilities and nothing I made hit the mark. Along came modern AI to help get me the product and I wanted. I decided to open-source the results. Features: This tool has a Gantt chart style to it that you can interact with on the DOM. There is a feature that allows you to assign tasks to people on your team and manage the amount of tasking assigned to each person. I also included templates that allow you to re-use someone's project once they find one that works. List view allows use on your mobile device. This is built in Django and has a REST API that goes with it for adding on capability. There are directions to easily install it using Docker and take it for a spin. The events are "sticky" so they don't get moved around by accident. hold Ctrl or Command to drag an event around the timeline. I am looking forward to hearing comments and feedback on the utility of the program and how to improve it. | ||

Author here. Correction to my post. The timeline is built on canvas not DOM. That is what drives the smoothness. I built this with the thought that I wanted I to feel like Adobe Premiere’s workflow. What are your thoughts on the response time? Is the sticky key required to prevent accidental movement of the items? | ||
