I don't think I'm the only one here who, if this were open source, would gladly spend time improving features or creating connectors / middleware for different apps like GitLab.

Same here. I'm immediately disinterested after finding out it's not open source. I've been looking for an OSS alternative for quite some time (CBA to write one, maybe I should start a project..)

there have been dozens of open-source github-based invoicing, time tracking, pm tools. they're out there. go use one of those. don't start another one.

Maybe one of these projects is a good fit for you.

taigia is actually _impossible_ to set up. I haven't been able to do it on a fresh 14.04 Ubuntu instance from DO after trying at least once per month.

Edit: Let me rephrase. I've tried at least once a month to install taigia following their instructions and also by trying to use some 3rd party docker files. I've been met with failure every time.
