### What we like

Uses a Git repo with Markdown files for tracking each issue - everything exists in text on disk. CLI helps visualize the tasks as a list or kanban board. Also includes a web UI. Tasks can be created and managed from the CLI. Git used for history.

### Tradeoffs

No dark mode for the web UI.
