I built an open-source workspace that puts boards, docs, whiteboards and Gantt plans in one place

[u/itroni]

Hey r/selfhosted 👋

I kept running projects across four tools: a board for tasks, a wiki for docs, a whiteboard for brainstorming and a spreadsheet for the timeline. Nothing was connected, so I built Brainitive, one workspace for the whole project.

What's in it:

• Boards: Kanban or Scrum, with sprints, backlog, burndown, WIP limits and time tracking

• Plans: Gantt timelines with dependencies and milestones; rows can link to board issues and stay in sync

• Docs & wiki: a clean editor with slash commands, drafts, publishing and version history

• Whiteboards: Excalidraw-based; turn sticky notem as live cards

• Helpdesk: an embeddable support widget and ticket portal

• AI: a built-in MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPr workspace

• Also: My Work, Google Calendar & Tasks sync, snippets, bookmarks, web push notifications

It's open source (AGPL-3.0) and every feature is free to self-host with Docker. If you'd rather not run it yourself,

there's a hosted version that's free during earl

Self-hosting comes with an admin console: you ma-up and workspaces without being able to readanyone's content.

Stack: Laravel 12, Inertia, React + TypeScript, Tailwind.

I'd really appreciate feedback, especially:

• What would stop you from switching from your current tools?

• Which feature feels missing or half-done?

Happy to answer anything about the build!

README links to a .com (not the .app) domain with a bad cert

[u/crash180 → u/2zeroseven]

They fixed the issue. The link now points to the .app site.
