Here is the answer for Trello: each card and list has a field called “pos” which is a number. The initial values are spread out (e.g. 1000, 2000, 3000) and then when you move a card, it takes on the average of the two adjacent cards. So, if I move the 3rd card to the 2nd position, its “pos” becomes 1500. This means it doesn’t have to constantly renumber the cards -- but, every once and a while, the server does reorde…

This concept is called "lexorank"

Well, not quite. Although lexorank is similar, the mothod described above is not lexorank. Lexorank uses strings and buckets and a completely different set of math to work it out.

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!!

https://anytype.io is not open source, but source available, and even calls itself the "Everything App".

Suggestion to the OP: please consider adding a family plan at a lower monthly price point. On this topic, I really love Kanban boards, but a hosted version (or self-hosted) is not as appealing to me as a native app with some sync. Years ago, I used to use a closed source but free desktop app on Windows (now long discontinued though) and found that it worked very well for me to track my work. Apple’s Reminders app has…

I use the KanBan plugin for Obsidian and have quite liked it. It’s basic but it does the job and lets you sync however you want (it’s just a folder with markdown files).

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).

The American-Australian so they fall under der CloudAct

Beware of European companies too if there is a WWIII. Beware of Asian companies because China is not far away. What a weird comment.

I don’t think it’s weird to worry about this sort of stuff, although I think trello would be quite far down the list. I’d worry about the impact of Ms being weaponised first.

Indeed...we are the only country that uses trade to influence others. You got us.

Who said use of trade? The threat are sanctions to ban the use of the software, like they cancelled the ICC investigators bank account on behalf of the US.

You're the only western country that enforces their sanctions on third party countries.

For instance a german customer can't pay a german merchant via PayPal if he buys Cuban cigars, despite it's done by PayPal Europe S.a.r.l. et Cie s.c.a.

And don't forget the things with Greenland.

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

I wrote "can become".

We are just one executive order away.

Just look what they try with Harvard. The EU is an easier target. Just ban M365 for EU use.

Think of this at a larger scale

We are already on the brink of a full-blown trade war.

It was already bad thanks to the CloudAct, but now it got worse. The previous adminstration at least tried to value the rights of EU citizens. The US now have the same trust level as China. Congratulations. At least China's support for Russia is more hidden.

And the US already showed what happens if you don't comply to US wishes

Show me any other country that did this to their allies.

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?

Ask Switzerland who only got restricted access to AI chips.

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?

Here is the answer for Trello: each card and list has a field called “pos” which is a number. The initial values are spread out (e.g. 1000, 2000, 3000) and then when you move a card, it takes on the average of the two adjacent cards. So, if I move the 3rd card to the 2nd position, its “pos” becomes 1500. This means it doesn’t have to constantly renumber the cards -- but, every once and a while, the server does reorde…

I was going to guess linked lists/graphs as that is my goto for extremely flexible local structure. But the sparse array is probably better, relational databases hate linked lists.
