                      Because it's a huge amount of work to maintain separate fork of Wekan

                          So in case of fork, you would need to merge changes and fix merge conflicts very often

                                    The time to build could change in future, if there are fixes to build time bottlenecks. For example, previously building Wekan did take about one hour - after changing one dependency to older version, time dropped to 11 minutes.

                                      Some future fix could also change time from 11 minutes to much less, or some more. It remains to be seen, there are updates to dependencies very often.

                                          but we need something more different and tightly integrated, also wekan-gogs in not maintained for quite some time now

                                              one of the first difficulties we are having with rest api is there is no search parameter

                                                so right now we have to take a loner route to fetch all the boards, filter them based on title, find the right one and then fetch all info related to it with the id
