Random curious question. I was pondering the kanban backend. How do you store the order of the kanban cards in your database and keep that in sync with what's in the UI?

#102Earlier quoted context omitted.
Its license has strict limitations on what you can use it for. It’s not open source in any reasonable sense.
It is open source (the code is right there), but it's not Open Source due to what GP references. There is a distinction.
But since [oO]pen [sS]ource has a broadly understood meaning that's different, we shouldn't deliberately use the same description for both ideas.
If you want to describe it as "source available", I'll happily go along with it. It's not open source, though. The source is visible, but it's not open to use. I mean, you can find the leaked Windows source code online, but it's not open source just because you can look at it.

That’s just called „source available“.

That’s not what open source means. That is generally called source available.

#105Hey HN, I couldn’t find an open-source alternative to Trello that I liked so I built my own. It’s fast, free and fully-customisable. You can self host it, or use the cloud version if you don’t want to manage your own infra. Repo -> https://github.com/kanbn/kan Cloud -> https://kan.bn Roadmap -> https://kan.bn/kan/roadmap I’d love feedback, bug reports, or any feature suggestions!
Feedback (since you asked) ...
Using the kanban for your roadmap, https://kan.bn/kan/roadmap two things I noticed:
1. When I click a card, no data is present. It's just an empty card that says "Activity".
2. After you click a few cards, it hijacks your browser Back button.

#107Some years ago, I used Kanboard (it written in php): https://kanboard.org/ . It was ugly but useful (and easy to install because I remember that it didn't need any data base).
I threw it on a shared host and was up and running in notime. The UI is dated, but it is very functional.

#108Great project, will give it a try, we've been using another open source trello clone that has been pretty solid and very closely clones the trello UI.

#109I absolutely love Trello. Visually super appealing, very fast interface with shortcuts, and an API that allows me to do all sorts of automations (although it offers automations out of the box). Will check out your solution.
> very fast interface with shortcuts
Trello has either had some serious performance improvements since I last used it, or you have very few cards and no media. It used to take seconds for actions to process.
Re: Show HN: Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello
#110IMHO many "open source alternatives to" should drop that tagline. This sentence is the first thing I read, and likely the last. I don't know what "Trello" is. I don't see what your project or app could do for me. Even if I knew Trello, I wouldn't know why does it need an alternative. (Trello was (is?) great for personal use, by non-technical people.)
