About this software
About TaskO
TaskO is a complete ASP.NET Core MVC project management application that runs on your own server with SQL Server. Teams organise work into Workspaces, boards, lists and cards, viewing the same data as Kanban boards, timelines, calendars, tables or dashboards. The system includes card templates, custom fields, checklists with per-item assignees, file attachments, automation rules with triggers and scheduled actions, and due-date reminders. All source code (C#, JavaScript, Razor views, SQL scripts) is included for a single-site deployment.

Quality report
Manually reviewedHow to read the quality report
What this is. Every project on Vibe96 goes through an automated audit of its source code before a reviewer in Dubai checks it by hand. The score is out of 100; 75 is the minimum to be listed, and any single failing check blocks a listing regardless of the score.
- Security
- No real credentials in the code, every data-changing route protected, admin areas role-gated, no SQL built from user input.
- Code structure
- A developer can navigate and extend it: clear module boundaries, no giant files, little copy-paste.
- Docs & completeness
- The setup guide, example config, schema and required files the builder committed to are actually in the archive.
- Dependency health
- Packages pinned, no known critical vulnerabilities, no abandoned libraries in production paths.
- Build & deploy
- A clean machine can restore, build and start it by following the shipped instructions.
Warnings are problems that didn't block the listing; they stay visible here until a later version clears them. The audit reads the code — it does not run it — so always try the live demo before you buy. Lines of code are counted from the same audited archive.
Reviewer notes (3 minor)
Weak default passwords in documentation; no real credentials found; moderate code duplication and some oversized files; structure is sound but maintainability could improve; strong authentication and role checks; minor ownership gaps on personal data reads. None of these stop the software from working; the developer has been told and improvements come in a future update.
