Redmyne

⚠️ This is a fork of vscode-redmine by Tomasz Domański (MIT licensed). This extension adds personal workload management features not present in the original.

Personal workload management for developers using Redmine.

Why This Extension?

Redmine's web UI asks: "How is the PROJECT doing?" — release status, team activity, where time is being spent. It's built for project managers and stakeholders.

This extension asks a different question: "How is MY WORKLOAD doing?"

• What's assigned to me?
• Am I overbooked this week?
• What should I work on next?
• How much time did I log today?

If you're a developer using Redmine, you don't need another project dashboard — you need personal productivity tools integrated into your IDE where you already work.

Why not just use Redmine's web UI?

The web UI is great for project-level oversight, but switching contexts between your IDE and browser breaks flow. This extension keeps your task list, time logging, and timeline right next to your code.

Why not RedmineX or other clients?

Desktop clients like RedmineX replicate Redmine's full project management interface. They're powerful, but they're still project-focused tools. This extension is intentionally focused on your personal workflow — minimal UI, fast actions, IDE integration.

Think of it as: Redmine for you, not Redmine for your project.
