Ever Teams vs Kitsu: at a glance
What is Ever Teams?
Ever Teams adds self-service account deletion amid a stream of same-day tags.
Ever Teams shipped v0.147.0 with account deletion from the Danger Zone and by e-mail link, built on Gauzy's account-deletion endpoint, followed by review fixes in the same release. Late October then brought v0.148.0's task-settings and invitation fixes, a Docker option that prints sign-in codes on the local API console, and a move of CI toward self-hosted runners. Four of the five most recent tags landed on 31 October.
What is Kitsu?
Kitsu ships weekly production-management updates, from per-show roles to a new Kanban board.
Kitsu, the open-source animation and VFX production tracker, has posted a feature update most weeks since late September: per-production roles, metadata per task type, episode-based schedules for TV series, team schedule filters, mention replies, a redesigned Kanban board, and player trim handles. Earlier in the year the focus was the review loop, with onion skinning, an annotation eraser, public playlist links, and OpenID Connect sign-in.
Ever Teams vs Kitsu: editorial side-by-side
Ever Teams adds self-service account deletion amid a stream of same-day tags.
◆ Current state
Ever Teams shipped v0.147.0 with account deletion from the Danger Zone and by e-mail link, built on Gauzy's account-deletion endpoint, followed by review fixes in the same release. Late October then brought v0.148.0's task-settings and invitation fixes, a Docker option that prints sign-in codes on the local API console, and a move of CI toward self-hosted runners. Four of the five most recent tags landed on 31 October.
◆ Where it's heading
The tag count continues to track merged pull requests, and v0.148.0's commit list labels its features as daily self-build maintenance. The real product change is alignment with Gauzy: account deletion, a same-origin image placeholder route and a shared image proxy all tie the web app more closely to that API. The move off dummyimage.com removes a third-party dependency.
◆ Prediction
Expect more version churn with Gauzy-aligned fixes beneath it. The account deletion review fixes suggest that flow will see further patches.
Kitsu
5.0PM
Kitsu ships weekly production-management updates, from per-show roles to a new Kanban board.
◆ Current state
Kitsu, the open-source animation and VFX production tracker, has posted a feature update most weeks since late September: per-production roles, metadata per task type, episode-based schedules for TV series, team schedule filters, mention replies, a redesigned Kanban board, and player trim handles. Earlier in the year the focus was the review loop, with onion skinning, an annotation eraser, public playlist links, and OpenID Connect sign-in.
◆ Where it's heading
The emphasis has moved from client-facing review toward running multi-show studios: permissions per production, department-specific data and episodic planning. The weekly cadence makes each entry small.
◆ Prediction
More weekly updates on scheduling and studio permissions are likely; a larger release is not signalled in the feed.
