        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 things i would like to do is update the rest API

                                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

                                      also one more pain point is fetching labels and custom fields for cards

                                          Well, I have thinked a little about one crazy idea, of adding Wekan directly to Gitea, with Go code. Well, it could be time consuming, but would there be some benefit?

                                            Currently Wekan Snap also includes Caddy, that is made with Go.

                                              Anyway, for current Wekan, if there is something missing from API, you can add it https://github.com/wekan/wekan/tree/master/models
