I succumbed to the urge to write a new piece of free and open source software for tracking my projects and stash. I’m designing the architecture to be able to grow into a multi-user shared project, pattern, and stash tracking system – something I’m missing, these days. I make no promises as to what I will actually release, since coding time cuts into my knitting time, and I haven’t figured out how to do both at once* 
If you are here looking for a personal download-and-install project tracker, this might not be the right one for you. This is a web application designed to be hosted on a web server. It’s usually not hard to run it on your own computer (especially if you’re on a Mac or running Linux), but you’ll need to be technically adventurous if you don’t already have that knowledge.
Anyway, I hope it helps someone. Okay, I’ll admit I’m really hoping for code contributions, too 
It’s a pretty standard Ruby on Rails application so far, if that’s your thing.
Screenshots and caveats from the README: [HR][/HR]Personal project warning! I’m writing this for myself first, and features are implemented in roughly the order in which they are most important to me. Code quality may be all over the place. Specs will happen when I feel like writing them. I <3 pull requests!
This is not desktop software! If you are here looking for a personal download-and-install project tracker, this might not be the right one for you. This is a web application designed to be hosted on a web server. It’s usually not hard to run it on your own computer (especially if you’re on a Mac or running Linux), but you’ll need to be technically adventurous if you don’t already have that knowledge.
This is nowhere near feature complete! Or even feature adequate.
This is currently not safe to put on the public internet! No spam protection, project authorization is all over the place, no file type restrictions, … the list goes on. It’s not that the app is inherently unsafe, just that I haven’t yet put in mitigations for certain common methods of abuse. [HR][/HR]

- My spinning wheel, on the other hand, is probably the best physical tool I have for solving coding problems.
I also updated the main post to clarify some things – it’s not impossible (and probably not even hard) to get SkeinLink running locally for yourself.
