Rediflow – SSR project management, one source of truth, no spreadsheet

I wanted to try AI-assisted software development, so I built Rediflow: a server-rendered project management app. The kind of thing that would have been useful around the turn of the millennium — when plans lived in one spreadsheet, capacity in another, and everyone kept asking "where am I allocated?" — but didn't really exist in a simple, integrated form. I spent many evenings and weekends building it. It's done* now, and I enjoyed making it. Core features: Single source of truth — Project flow, portfolio flow, and capacity in one place. No Excel sprawl. Update once, flows everywhere — Change a figure once; it propagates to charts, reports, and views. Demand chart — Project plan (PROJPLAN), Estimated (EST), and Actual as monthly bars and cumulative lines. Work packages, tasks, milestones, deliverables — All in one project view. Capacity dashboard — Demand vs capacity across projects and people. My allocations — Staff see their rolling 12 months of capacity and project assignments. Audit logging — Who changed what and when. Data quality checks — Built-in validation. Schema migrations — Alembic, version-controlled schema. Backup procedures — Documented (pg_dump, volume backup, WAL). Self-hosted — Podman or Docker. Stack: Flask + PostgreSQL 18+, server-rendered, minimal JS. OIDC (Authentik) optional. Docs: https://rediflow_eu.gitlab.io/rediflow · Repo: https://gitlab.com/rediflow_eu/rediflow Self-financed, no external funding or benefits received. * Yeah, software is ready when it is so decided. Until the next revisit.
