That's good to hear and I see why those would be popular. I'm a bit surprised that a kanban board is so important.

I'll put in my vote for replacing Wekan with Jupyter -- it's more strategic to win mindshare outside the closed circle of developers. The average unsophisticated user who just wants apps, your target market, doesn't want their very own kanban board. A photo album yes. I speculate your early adopters are predominantly developers themsleves and that's why it's popular. It does fit my comment about private data being an important use case for you, of course.

Sharing homework assignments or spreadsheets of data would be more strategic for you, imho. It could help you break into the 'educational shared docs' submarket -- every school I know uses google docs right now for convenience. And don't forget homeschoolers, and teachers setting up courseware sites. I would think the educational market would be key for you to gain mindshare and grow beyond the community of early-adopter developers.

Anyway, best of luck. This is some really good work you are doing.
