  5. They can add, manage, and track subtasks within each task.
  6. The website integrates with GitHub, enabling users to attach their project repository links and manage commits and pull requests for each task.
  7. Project progress is calculated based on task completion, similar to Jira, and the website provides analytics and reporting.
  8. Each user has a personalized profile for a customized experience.
  9. The website is mobile responsive for accessibility across devices.
  10. A support system is available for user inquiries and assistance.
