Show HN: I spent 2 years building Tablane as a 17-year-old

Hi HN community,

I'm Marcus, a 17-year-old Software Engineer from Germany.

For the past two years I've been working on Tablane [0](https://github.com/Tablane/tablane) a task/project management tool, with features like:

- Collaborative Editing (google docs)

- Optimistic updates with RTK Query

- Realtime sync with Socket.io

- An awesome design

Let me know what you think! Ask me anything!

How I got here: 2020: I was developing a TTT [1] (Trouble in Terrorist Town) plugin for my minecraft server, when I started to require a project management tool to keep track of the features I wanted to implement, originally I used a text file, but after some time I started using products like ClickUp and Monday.

But not long after I hit several paywalls for features that I wanted to use (Custom Status, Limited Number of Boards, ...) Soon after Tablane (originally task-board) was born. I started building the website using plain HTML, then found out about React and completed Colt Steele's "Web Developer Bootcamp" [2] and "The Modern React Bootcamp" [3] and started re-writing Tablane in React, and started adding feature after feature.

Now I am about to finish Highschool and originally I thought about applying to college and spending another 3-5 years there, but after the positive feedback I got on a three month internship I did at ContentPepper, and seeing how my own projects developed, I decided to look for open Developer positions, to work with a team of experienced developers so I can learn even faster.
