From 0aa0ec298921d32dacc08ccd3b6a95c9bf7edb3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kristianwind Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:59:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs: stop describing verdande as "Todoist Pro" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Claiming to be Todoist Pro is both inaccurate and an invitation to a trademark complaint. Describe verdande on its own terms — a fast, self-hosted task manager — and keep the Todoist references to what they factually are: import/export interop, and a filter grammar close enough that people coming from there already know it.

From e94d731c30044152cb923e23890feb57c5f59202 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kristianwind Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 14:05:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs(site): lead with the Rune, and drop the Todoist comparison from filters MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Yggdrasil is self-hosting too, so labelling only the Docker page "Self-hosting" was misleading and put it above the Rune it was built for. Reorder "As a Rune" above the Docker page, rename that page "With Docker", and make the landing hero's primary call to action the Rune, with Docker beside it. Also drop the "the grammar is Todoist's" line from the filters page — the factual import/export interoperability keeps naming Todoist, but the positioning and soft comparisons do not.
