Pique

Pique is project management software that is a delight to use!

This project is in very early stages, so here's what you need to know:

• It's being developed by Nicole / ntietz as a side project
• It's not production ready!
• It's not open-source and contributions are not welcome
• It will be free to use while it's in development, but will likely transition to paid plans pretty quickly. I hope to always offer some paid plan, but that is if I can do it without burning my budget.

If it's not open-source, why can you see this? Simply because I (Nicole) find it much better and easier to work in the open. The code is available because there is utility in that. It has few drawbacks. If someone wants to steal it, they can, but that's pretty illegal. Eventually it might wind up open-source, or as a coop, or just as a solo dev project. I don't know, but openness is a core value for me, so here we are.

If you want to use it, and there is not a plan available yet, just let me know. My personal email is me@ntietz.com and I can get you set up.

Workflow and setup

Rust

This project uses Rust. Setup the toolchain on your local machine as per usual. We use nightly, and installation and management using rustup is recommended.

DB (Diesel)

We use Diesel for database interaction. You'll want the CLI, which you can install with the following command. This will install it for your user on your system, including support for SQLite.

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features -F sqlite-bundled

Tailwind

We use Tailwind for our styling. You'll want to install the CLI:

npm install -D tailwindcss

Docs

Decisions are recorded in ADRs¹ using a command-line tool to create and manage them. You can install it with:

cargo install adrs

See the adrs docs for more infomration on usage.
