What Tasks.md actually does
Tasks.md is a self-hosted task management board that stores data using Markdown files. It provides a visual interface for organising to-do items while keeping the underlying records in a plain text format on your own infrastructure.
Best fit: It suits individuals or small teams who prefer managing tasks through Markdown files rather than traditional relational databases.
Worth knowing: The project exhibits low maintenance activity, which may result in delayed security patches and unresolved bugs over time.
Deployment notes
As a Docker-deployed application, you will typically need to map a persistent volume to preserve your Markdown files and place the container behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS.
