You’re right. It was released almost at the same time as the 1st gen iPod touch, and that iPod ran the same OS as the iPhone (then named iPhone OS). I thought the iPod touch came before, it didn’t. The iPod classic was significantly different from the iPhone.
I remember when the iPhone came out, it was a little more than an iPod that made calls. The rest is history.
Back in the days before git, I worked on a small software+hardware startup with ~ 10 people. We used Trac very successfully to do project management. I know it’s been updated to mesh with git. You could set up roadmaps, track issues (which can be linked to code or not), tracked hours (using a plugin), and keep our internal KB in the integrated Wiki. There was a Trac Hack for everything we wanted.
I don’t recall which Gantt plugin we used, but there’s a few options: https://trac-hacks.org/tags/gantt
We didn’t use kanban back then, again, options: https://trac-hacks.org/tags/kanban
Appwrite and Supabase are both very promising open source “serverless” solutions.
