What is DoneDone?

DoneDone smooths daily work: paste-in checklists and replies that keep their formatting.

DoneDone's latest release is two quality-of-life changes. New checklists open a popup where items can be typed or pasted in bulk, and replies now keep bold, italics and lists. They follow a busy late summer: workflow automations, custom fields, email-to-task, allow/block filters, and one email connection feeding several Mailboxes.

What is Peppermint?

Peppermint v0.5.3 adds a Documents feature to the open-source help desk

Peppermint is a self-hosted open-source help desk. The single catalog entry is v0.5.3 from October 2024, which introduced a Documents feature — creating, viewing, and deleting docs with UI improvements — alongside keyboard shortcut fixes and general UI polish. With only one visible entry, the current development pace is unclear.

DoneDone smooths daily work: paste-in checklists and replies that keep their formatting.

◆ Current state

DoneDone's latest release is two quality-of-life changes. New checklists open a popup where items can be typed or pasted in bulk, and replies now keep bold, italics and lists. They follow a busy late summer: workflow automations, custom fields, email-to-task, allow/block filters, and one email connection feeding several Mailboxes.

◆ Where it's heading

After two substantive launches (automations and custom fields), DoneDone has shifted to tightening the email-driven support workflow and cutting friction in everyday task handling. The cadence is roughly one or two updates a month, each narrow in scope.

◆ Prediction

Expect more email-pipeline and checklist refinements; automations may gain new triggers, given checklist templates already hook into status changes.

Peppermint v0.5.3 adds a Documents feature to the open-source help desk

◆ Current state

Peppermint is a self-hosted open-source help desk. The single catalog entry is v0.5.3 from October 2024, which introduced a Documents feature — creating, viewing, and deleting docs with UI improvements — alongside keyboard shortcut fixes and general UI polish. With only one visible entry, the current development pace is unclear.

◆ Where it's heading

The v0.5.3 Documents addition suggests Peppermint is expanding beyond ticketing into a lightweight knowledge base model, bringing docs and tickets under one interface. Whether this continues into a broader knowledge management direction cannot be confirmed from a single entry.

◆ Prediction

If the documents feature is a deliberate strategic direction, expect search, linking, and access control additions in subsequent releases. Without more entries, trajectory confidence is low.
