    Thanks for letting me know! Need to think how to separate between makers and hunters, to make it clear.

    I'm NOT the maker of this project. Just was running it on my local server and noticed that it's built with Django.

    Fixed the screenshot, took it from the docs. AS the owner of the project you can add additional details to the project that will show up here. Are you the maker, btw?

    It would be nice if the screenshot was for the actual project (can get it from github page). Also good to mention that they have client apps for desktop (Linux/Windows/Mac) and mobile (Android/iOS).
