Limits worth knowing in Tasks.md

  • There is no hosted version: someone has to run the Docker image or the source code on a server.
  • The README mentions no user accounts or sign-in, so restricting access is left to the host.
  • The maintainer calls it a low-maintenance project and keeps the scope of features narrow on purpose.
