This will sound crazy but I wish there was an open source “everything” app. If this could grow into a slack alternative (where channels can host a kanban board) with http bot api and built in charting and dashboards and python notebook snippets etc etc so we can get things in one place… that would be great!!

a) Nextcloud

b) AFFiNE https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE but check some part of server license, what is allowed: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/blob/canary/packages/...

c) Frappe:

https://frappe.io/framework

d) Odoo https://www.odoo.com

e) Sandstorm https://sandstorm.org , although WeKan is old version, I try to update it sometime

f) WeKan with webhooks https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165008 with RocketChat Community Edition https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/RocketChat with Jypyter: https://jupyter.org

biggest problems with trello, having using it 14 years or so - if user deletes card/list/board it's gone forever for whole group - i want to share board with secret link(no login) but this user cannot have rights to open any card, maybe just comment. Not available at all in trello

WeKan https://wekan.github.io has CommentOnly role, that can be set by BoardAdmin by clicking at board right sidebar board member avatar, or with API:

IMHO 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.) "A powerful, flexible kanban app that helps you organise work, trac…

The difficulty to deploy Next.js is greatly exaggerated in my opinion. It's mostly if you care about some of the more advanced features, like image optimization and hosting static assets on a different origin it can become difficult, but these are features no Next.js alternative generally provide anyway.

> hosting static assets on a different origin it can become difficult What's the alternative? Hosting the static assets on the same place as the backend? Usually adding the CORS headers is enough to solve that (on the backend side), the frontend is still just HTML,CSS and JS running from nginx. Is it common to do a different type of deployment with Next.js? It's a pretty basic deployment scenario (having the frontend…

It's the opposite, it's extremely easy to do that with Next.js - pretty much free - but only if you're deploying to Vercel. If you want to host somewhere else then you have to do that semi-manually the same way you would with any other framework.

Trello pricing just got a lot more reasonable, but there is one feature that might get me thinking of moving: conditional logic in automations. Be advised that Trello is now $5/mo. It's gonna be hard to compete here.

You can’t trust US companies anymore, they easily can become a weapon in a trade war.

WTF? Atlassian is famously Australian (although they have a terrible security law that should make people nervous).

having mardown support for code blocks would be good.

WeKan https://wekan.github.io has markdown and GitHub emoji support https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Emoji at board titles, swimlane titles, cards, card descriptions, checklists, comments, etc. Card comments also have user reactions like thumbsup, etc.

One day when I have free time I really want to build an "everything app" suite on top of Sandstorm. Kind of like your supermarket's "home brand" meant to be no-frills, functional and cheap.

The way Sandstorm takes auth and hosting off your hands feels like it would make this more tractable. Business model remains an issue though, as it does for much open source work (and of course, all businesses! it's rough out there).

Having played around with Sandstorm, it's just so freeing to create one sqlite file per document (or board, or whatever) and just not worry about what happens if 10,000 users turn up. Wekan, which does run admirably well on Sandstorm, pulls an entire Mongodb instance into each grain. That makes sense if you want to host an entire SaaS on one database. But not in the Sandstorm world.

Wholeheartedly agree. On-prem is still a major market to play in and have worked on many consulting engagements architecting software that plays nicely. Just curious - how do you guys deploy Flagsmith on-prem? I'm still trying to find a nice deployment pattern that aligns well with both client and vendor.

From one deploying stuff on prem: Absolute best scenario is single binary with embedded static files (Go is very good at that) that just takes config and/or CLI options (preferably both if it isn't too complex of a config) and works. Or static file that just needs to be pointed at database with certain version It can be easily run on VM, it can be easily made with container, it can be easily made into package, or ran…

Maybe Kanboard that has SQLite support, packaged with FrankenPHP ? https://frankenphp.dev
