Thank you very much for this project, not only because it looks nice but also to have created with a long lost spirit: "I do something nice for myself and I share it with the world" open source, and doing something straight simple with dependency!
I wish more things are released like that.
Also your tool might be very useful because there isn't a good Gantt tool that is lightweight anymore, i search for one recently and my only solution in the end was to use an excel template...
My 2 feedbacks if you are interested: - it is annoying to have the "category" required to create a task. Maybe you could create a task with an "undefined" category if none provided? - a great feature would be to be able to export the result output or view in a PNG picture or SVG.
Following up on the category requirement comment - if I hadn't read the parent comment here first, when trying the app I probably would have walked away concluding it didn't work.
The first button in the bar is create a new task. That's the first thing any visitor will click. If you try to create a task there is no category available, no hint they are required or important, no reason why I'd care what category the task is, and the error state is indicated by a green highlight - the universal signal for "everything is good." All I would have seen is, hmm, I can't make a task, this must be broken. Move on.
I mention all of this because the app looks like a fantastic new tool and I suspect this small issue would have a much bigger impact on adoption than you might anticipate as the author of the tool.
