alt Hacker News1. "Hated how managers run boards", but there is absolutely no explanation on what this system does differently. How does it differ from the myriad of existing solutions? 2. Documentation is practically non-existent. 3. The code isn't event open-source, and the license prohibits modification and distribution. Come on, this is essentially a TODO app. 4. Demo requires a user to create a real account and use an email address... 5. Telegram channel appears to have some demo videos, but all posts are in Russian. Why?
I would say this is some sort of joke if I weren't familiar with this kind of mindset, but I don't understand what causes this.

I do the service alone in my free time. Documentation is my weak side, it takes time, desire and understanding of what should be there. I am from Russia and most of the users of the service are from Russia. This is the first time that so many non-Russian speaking users have signed up for ooko. Telegram has translation functionality, if anything.
Inability to see that the perceived difficulty in using a system is due to your own mismatched mental-model/needs/scenario -- so inventing one which is overfit to your own needs/model at this specific moment, which fails to generalise and is eventually adapted overtime to more scenarios and becomes frustrating again.
The cause is lack of self-awareness.
