I built OpenArca — a self-hosted workflow tool for developer teams (open source)

Source: Dev.to

Hey everyone 👋

I wanted to share a small project I recently open‑sourced — OpenArca –

It started as an internal tool because I couldn’t find something that felt right between heavy project management systems and simple task boards. Most tools were either too complex or didn’t keep enough execution context for developer work.

What OpenArca Offers

• Self‑hosted workflow for dev teams
• Ticket lifecycle + Kanban board
• Developer TODO flow synced with tickets
• Passwordless OTP login
• Lightweight Docker setup
• Open source (AGPL‑3.0)

The main idea is simple: keep context alive between tickets, tasks, and real execution.

The project is still evolving, and I’d really love feedback from people running self‑hosted setups or working in small engineering teams.
