I'm curious about why you chose to open source it. For me personally, I would be happy to pay for the hosted version if it's useful, and not worry about hosting my own.
Thanks for asking. There are three drivers towards that decision:
1. Project Management Systems should be flexible. We can offer tools to get you started and we can advise on "best practices" but in the end teams need to be able to adjust the system to their custom needs. This caters to the experienced PM crowd.
2. On the other spectrum we have project owners/teams that need better project management processes and may not know where to start. Their budget usually reflects that. We want to enable startups and small companies to manage their projects effectively.
3. Data security and privacy. Some companies can't or don't want to send their sensitive data into the cloud.
We have goals and aspirations to commoditize project management. The industry has been stagnant for too long.

Seems really cool and we are going to test it. Do you plan on releasing a ready to use docker image?
If not, we might do it as soon as we find the time.
Follow Up: We now have a docker image available at https://hub.docker.com/r/leantime/leantime
Thank you. Docker image is on the roadmap but you may beat us to it :) Contributions very welcome!
That's cool!
Two things I would like to see:
* EBS (Evidence Based Scheduling)
* i18n (just the support for it, as I can provide the translations myself)
Also, thanks for including screenshots in your readme.md! Xx
Thank you. Support for i18n is in the works and will come within the next month. EBS is a great idea!
Looks really cool I would totally try it out do you need to put a credit card down for the free trial?
No credit card needed. 7 day trial for the hosted version.
