AppFab helps software product teams build fanstastic apps, by encouraging contribution, transparency, participative planning, and emergent prioritisation of projects.

It works great for small teams with external stakeholders, or larger teams (ours is 25 people).

Its goal is not to replace day-to-day tools like Kanbanery or Pivotal Tracker, but rather a means to let the collective pitch ideas, priorise them through voting, and follow them through their whole lifecycle.

AppFab requires Ruby 2.1, PostgreSQL and memcached to be installed.

With those installed you can setup the application by running: ./bin/setup

Locally, it is preferable to use Pow with to run Appfab, using the .dev.io local domain. If you do not want to use pow, configure .env with APP_DOMAIN=localhost. This is because Appfab will make attempts to redirect you to a canonical domain.

If you want to test SSL redirections, we recommend to use tunnels in conjunction with Pow--it's the simplest way to serve SSL locally.

Go to appfab.io and create your account. Signup is free and the app is pretty self-explanatory.

As the app is in beta, the hosted version is free for all but aboslutely no SLA or guarantee of customer support is provided.
