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.

99% of the time Kubernetes. Just hand over enterprise docker images and helm charts. If that's what you were asking?

WeKan https://wekan.github.io has Helm Chart here: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/wekan/wekan

Feels like Trello alternatives are the next ToDo list. There's so many of them these days that I struggle to grasp why anyone thinks launching an opensource one and thinking they can turn a profit with a cloud version is ever going to work. In all likelihood the project will be abandoned in 6 months and the site offline in 12.

I think what the industry is missing is some sort of interoperability standard/format for task management. I say this as someone who has been jumping from task tracker to task tracker since the early 2000's -- Trac, Jira, Redmine, Github Tasks, Trello, ClickUp, Linear, and several tools I developed myself. In each case, we rediscover/reinvent/redefine the same things: tasks, subtasks, summaries, descriptions, due dat…

Moving issues between some of those is possible:

Gitea has some one-time imports, but maybe not yet full mirroring of everything, I have not checked latest status.

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…

How do you feel about SQLite, especially re: backup/restore? Do you just copy the live DB+WAL around, do you bring the service down first, perhaps ZFS snapshots, any horror stories?

The amount of high quality Kanban / Trello-like options is low while the need for these is very high. At the same time getting started in building such a tool doesn't require a lot of resources. I think it's a good thing and I hope to see one that can replace my Notion Kanban soon.

For replacing Notion Kanban, maybe AFFiNE, that is mostly MIT license:

But some part of server code license may need checking:

What makes it high quality in your experience? (I’m doing customer research for my own kanban startup) /s

Well, what makes such a product high quality is highly subjective :D But for me personally I'd love a Kanban product that can rival Notion's feature set and simplicity, can be used offline / is local-first, offers some custimzation options, does not force me into a subscription, works well on desktop (Windows) as well as on my phone (Android).

It's possible to self-host WeKan kanban https://wekan.github.io and use it like PWA https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA at Windows, Android, iOS etc, more info at https://wekan.team/app/ , where is my app without Admin access at my server, but with with that PWA wiki page similar is possible.

But WeKan does not rival Notion feature set. For that, maybe AFFiNE https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165373

trello has gotten worse and worse actually could charge for features like n8n and more extensibility. Its gotten the opposite of kanban and zen where I just want clean cards it forces weird views and panels and overlays and difficult to find boards now it wants you to switch to other atlassian products from trello as a priority on the left over just trello unfortunately its the classic indie product amazing then eate…

Maybe use n8n with WeKan?

This may sound sarcastic..but have you considered retrofitting it with LLMs? The #1 problem with Kanbans is CARD-ROT. AI should fix that in a plethora of ways. Shouldn't be too hard to vibe-code that into existing on a mate-fueled weekend !/s

For AI with kanban, there is JustDo, but it's source available. It is not Open Source.

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

What's an example of a US company being weaponized in a trade war?

There are plenty, but most obvious nvidia which cannot even ship gpus to greenland currently.

Is there a ton of industry reeling on that issue? Or is that closer to a silly example?
