I left my job recently, which has allowed me to launch and work on Plotapi (https://plotapi.com) full-time.

I was spending 16+ hours a day on the project up until the launch. I organised myself with a local Gitea (https://gitea.com) installation and creating issues that I assigned to myself. I started off using Kanban within Gitea too, but as it was just me, I ended up preferring to use issues directly. Each day was focussed on making progress on the current issue!

I only launched Plotapi 3 days ago, so time will tell how I end up planning the days/weeks!

Congratulations on the launch! Slick product :)

I am not from a dataviz background but I do have a question around the decision to use Gitea (other than self-hosted) . Would it be a better use of your time to use something like GitHub or was there something Gitea offers that is so valuable?

Thank you!

Gitea was quite easy to set up, I just had to run the executable from my local server and I was up and running! I've recently become more concerned with hosting my data off-premises, so I use this local Gitea instance when something doesn't need to be public-facing.

I was pleasantly surprised with an unforeseen advantage - speed! I have a few Unity projects that can be on the larger side, but pushing/pulling to them is quick in comparison to GitHub.
