Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 7c9bde2cfd docs(phase6): documentation site, landing page and open-source scaffolding
Material for MkDocs under docs/, covering self-hosting, the Rune, the
quick-add and filter languages, importing from Todoist, CalDAV,
mail-to-task, MCP, the AI layer and the API. The version is pinned: the
maintainers have announced that MkDocs 2.0 removes the plugin system
with no migration path, and an unpinned install would break this build
on the day it lands.

The landing page shows the quick-add parser as actual text rather than a
screenshot of it — that is the thing worth showing, and it reads better
as the real thing. It shares the app's design tokens, so the site and
what it describes look like one project.

MIT licence, contributing guide, security policy and issue templates.
Pages deployment is behind workflow_dispatch, so the docs build on every
push but nothing is published until the owner chooses to.

# verdande
Self-hosted tasks and projects, shared with the people you share the work with.
One binary with SQLite inside it — no database to provision, no second process.
**Verdande** is one of the three Norns: the one who spins *that which is becoming*.
Not what has been, and not what is fated to be — the thing you are in the middle
of. Which is what a to-do list is.
## What it is for
Todoist Pro, on your own hardware, with your own data. And with the integrations a
hosted product will not build for you: a real CalDAV server, an address you can
forward mail to, and an MCP endpoint so Claude can work your task list directly.
## What it does
- **[Quick add](quick-add.md) that reads what you type.** `betal moms i morgen kl
10 p1 #Firma @regnskab` becomes a task due tomorrow at 10:00, priority 1, in
Firma, labelled regnskab. Danish and English, mixed freely in one line.
- **Projects, sections, sub-tasks, labels, [saved filters](filters.md).** List,
board and calendar views.
- **Sharing** with owner, editor and viewer roles. Anyone outside your instance
joins through an invite link.
- **Live sync** — a change made by somebody else appears without a refresh.
- **Repeating tasks** as RRULE, reminders, comments and attachments.
- **[Calendar](caldav.md), [mail](mail.md) and [Claude](mcp.md)** connected over
open standards rather than private formats.
## Getting it running
```bash
docker run -d --name verdande \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v verdande-data:/data \
-e VERDANDE_BASE_URL=https://todo.example.dk \
ghcr.io/kristianwind/verdande:latest
```
Open the address, create the first account — that account is the administrator.
Running Yggdrasil Panel? [Install it as a Rune](rune.md) instead.
## What it will not do
No karma or points. No team workspaces. No native apps. No mail integration beyond
Gmail and the forwarding address. No languages beyond Danish and English. And no
sync protocol of its own — [CalDAV](caldav.md) and the [API](api.md) *are* the
sync.
