The Management Assistant built yet another project tracker

“It's more of a proof of concept.”— Regional Sales Lead

Reason:

Honestly? Because the source of truth is an email attachment from December. Forked from a tutorial at 08:06 and never cleaned up.

Built by:

Tobias, a working student

Build time:

one weekend

Built with:

Streamlit

Database:

a column called misc2 because misc was already taken

Authentication:

MFA is disabled because somebody lost their phone

Deployment:

using a self-signed certificate everybody has accepted

Responsible:

Bastian, currently on parental leave

Documentation:

a PDF containing screenshots of the old UI

Security situation:

passwords are "encrypted" with Base64

Future disaster:

It will eventually need a migration project larger than the app itself.
