                <h2>Lists</h2>
            
                <p>First things first: Vikunja can create lists. And yes, you can add tasks to a list. But it can do so much more 
                <i>(or at least, it will be able to do a lot more at <a href="#roadmap">some point</a>)</i>.</p>
                
                <h2>Namespaces</h2>
                
                <p>A... what? A namespace is something like a group of lists. Every list is part of a particular namespace which you can then share
                or simply use as a method to keep track of multiple lists more easily.</p>
                
                <h2>Tasks</h2>
                
                <p>Tasks are not only simple tasks. You can let Vikunja remind you of tasks when they're due. Never miss an important deadline again!</p

                <h2>Sharing</h2>
            
                <p>
                Ever wished you could just share that grocery list with your roomate instead of having to send dozens of texts on your way to the supermarket?
                   With Vikunja, you can. Simply share a list or a namespace with all its lists to another user.
                   Don't want your roommate to add new things to the grocery list and only do the shopping? 
                   You can also share a list with <i>read-only</i> access!</p>
                   
                <p>
                 Planning a bigger thing? You can use teams to share a list or namespace with multiple people at a time!

### CalDAV

Ever discovered that web app with all its great features, but somewhat... not good to use? Not to say [our app](https://vikunja.io/download) is not easy to
use - but you don't have to use it! Vikunja comes with a calDAV-integration which lets you use the tools you already use and love.

<h2>Self-Hosted</h2>

<p>Use Vikunja on your own server or hosted*. Your data will always be yours, we won't sell your grocery list to Amazon. Don't trust us? 
<a href="http://code.vikunja.io">Check for yourself</a>.</p>

<p>Also, did I mention "the cloud"? Vikunja syncs across all your devices, no matter if you created a task on the mobile app or on your laptop, enabling
you to continue where you left off.
<br/>
<small style="color:#636363">* We don't have any stable hosted instances of Vikunja available, yet.</small>

</div>
            <div class="column is-half">
<h2>Open-Source</h2>

<p>Vikunja is completly open source and released under the <a href="http://code.vikunja.io/api/src/branch/master/LICENSE">LGPLv3</a>.</p>

<p>You can contribute in multiple ways, even if you're not a developer! It already helps a lot when you use Vikunja and report 
<a href="http://code.vikunja.io/api/issues">features you'd like or bugs you find</a>.</p>

<p>And if you are a developer and know your way around <a href="http://code.vikunja.io/api">Go</a> or 
<a href="http://code.vikunja.io/frontend">Vue.js</a>, any help is appreceated.</p>

## Roadmap

But of course, there's more to come! Take a look at this list of things we've planned to add:

* Labels for todo lists and tasks
* Prioritize tasks
* Assign users to tasks
* Subtasks
* Repeating tasks
* Attachments on tasks
* Get all tasks for you per interval (day/month/period)
* More sharing features
  * Share via a world-readable link with or without password, like Nextcloud
