What's heavy about any of that? I don't know what Tomcat is, but Docker is just a means of installing and running software in a VM(if host isn't Linux), Java is a perfectly fine language and runtime, and Postgres is a powerful and widely-used database. Any other self-hosted web app would require at least a language runtime and a database.
I currently use taskwarrior and nextcloud to synchronize task states between computers. This web based solution would help get rid of the synchronization part if it replicated enough of taskwarrior's functionality.
What I use most in taskwarrior is creating, starting, stopping and closing tasks under projects, then I use hooks written in python which read the changes from stdin and post the task changes to jira and slack.
So if this project could support web hooks, I could write a glue service for it to call when new tasks are created or states are changed.
I love the UI! Maybe this would get into the hands of more people if it were just statically hosted html + js (maybe on gh-pages) that stored your todo items in browser local storage?
I assume they're starting small but want to expand it out to web interfaces, syncing and maybe even a mobile app. Text files + git do have limitations when you're on a phone or other mobile device.
My next pet projects might be online apps that work purely via saving state to the Dropbox api. So I don’t need to see your data, and you can see your data anywhere via my apps, or if really stuck as plaintext files on the device(s) you’ve synced to. If syncthing via browser is a thing that’d be cool to. Anyone interested in collaborating?
It took me quite some time to install all the dependencies needed to get into Uranus, but once I was in, it was quite pleasant. Are you planning on spending any time making Uranus mobile friendly?
He's trying to tell you, in an indirect, humorous way, that the name of your product, when spoken in English and pronounced a certain way, sounds like something other than the name of the planet and mythological god.

Thanks for your explaining!
I understood now.
Honestly, I didn’t have any idea to this project but I like names of planets or gods, so I named this as Uranus!
Tiny suggestion: GIFs showing someone enter “a”, “b”, and “c” as their tasks tell me that this is more about the system and tech than what it’s like to use it to handle tasks in a real situation. Surely there must be a good example of a real world scenario where moving things around in a hierarchy is useful?
Those stupid jokes are why we'll have to rename the planet in the future (according to Futurama). It'll be called Urectum. Also a great name for Memo and Task apps.

Dev is super pleasant as well :)

Now somewhat deprecated in my workflow for Colornotes and Trello, but still used regularly.
Do people forget about the existence of filesystems and that we can literally put texts in a file using your favorite editor?
And also I should think about making mobile friendly Uranus.

(That's the "urectum" bit from Futurama)
so looks like I've been using it the wrong way all along
"Don't forget about that important meeting we've got tomorrow"
"Boss, shove it in Uranus"
"Show HN Uranus"
My first thought was it's getting like Reddit in here...
"I'm not sure, let me just look at 'your-anus' for a minute."
"Um, sure ..."
- Hey boss, we all set for that meeting in Mianus?
- Sure thing, I’ve got the notes in Uranus.
