Just the one I asked below on how long/much it took you to get this together and the stack and tools used?

Two developers have worked full-time on Kantree for 6 months. We're a four-people team with 3 devs and a business guy.

It's pretty classical stack with Python + Postgres + Redis on the backend and Angular.js for the frontend.

Thanks! How about deployment, monitoring etc? Any regrets on the stack you've chosen or changes you'd make?

If I may also ask, how did you fund it, and what's your revenue model? I'd like to make the leap one day to having some SaaS revenue, but all the apps I've seen seem (on the surface at least) like pretty hard markets to stand out in...

Here's a board [0] that lists the various tools and services we use: https://kantree.io/b/5575a09d63-kantree-stack

We're is a worker cooperative, 100% bootstrapped (http://digicoop.io). We expect most of our revenues to come from Kantree.

That's awesome! I've been thinking for a while that coops make a huge amount of sense for software development. Thanks for putting the lists together!

BTW have you read http://www.reinventingorganizations.com/? It's very pertinent to the kind of organisation you've built according to your team page. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts if you have.
