The Docker Compose setup looks pretty approachable. That said, the README should probably be more explicit about external services. It is not just “bring your LLM API key” if you want the full thing running. There are other pieces like Parallels, Composio, sandboxing, etc. A table with required, optional, and local alternative services would make it much better. Also kudos for choosing Apache 2.0 instead of one of those “open source but not really” licenses.

I think this will work good.

The closest comparison in my head is Claude Code plus Obsidian, but neither really has this shape. Claude Code is great when the task is local and code-shaped. Obsidian is great for my own notes. Kanwas feels more like a place to work with others. The canvas is the part that makes it click for me personally. It is nice to be able to share a board with documents in a way that preserves the natural relationships between these. Also really like the thinking mode in agent. Asked a lot of good questions.
