Show HN: Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello

Re: Show HN: Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello
#222Hey 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!
How does it compare to the existing open-source boards, such as: https://wekan.github.io/ https://taiga.io/ https://kanboard.org/

#223Feels 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.
Agreed. The AGPL license was the nail in the coffin for me.
Why? Did you want to use it, extend it, and sell proprietary addons yourself?
I haven't looked much at AGPL, how does it hurt the user?

#224Does anybody else have an issue with the like $8/user/month price point that products like this have coalesced around? I feel like a service like this should be like $1-5/user/year, at most.

#225Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not a native speaker, but to me "open" sounds like it fits to the case when I can see the code. Am I speaking in Go?
I'm sorry for the snark in my comment, it intended to just be a funny joke due to the capitalization thing (in Go that's what separates public from private fields, which is a weirdness of the language that surprises people the first time they get to learn it) As others said, while "open" does indeed mean "reachable" or "available" in this context of source code, it happens that "open source" is a well defined thing t…
Thanks! No worries, I'm not offended at all

#226Great 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. https://github.com/plankanban/planka
Planka is awesome, too bad it's no longer Open Source.

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: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE But some part of server code license may need checking: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/blob/canary/packages/...
Thanks for the suggestion, I love AFFiNE's approach, but for me it's just not there yet. I'm subscribed to their e-mail newsletter and check up on it from time to time, but for me personally it needs some more progress, e.g. a mobile version.

#228This 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
I would only consider adding LLMs if they could solve a real problem for users in a unique way that couldn't be easily achieved by automation rules. I'm definitely not against it, but I would have to see a real use case first. MCP support for the API would be a good starting point!
how can an automation rule help me as a product owner figure out:
- which cards have a global common UX theme or proven Business Value? - which epic cards needs more spec detail and broken down to child-cards? - which cards have higher-risk of failure
the list goes on..

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. https://www.lbc.co.uk/world-news/british-icc-chief-prosecuto... 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…
The threat are sanctions
Which is trade. Thanks for playing.
Re: Show HN: Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello
#230Random 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 answer for WeKan https://wekan.github.io Order is stored to sort field as number. When changing order with JQuery Draggable/Droppable/Sortable, it saves new order to browserside MiniMongo, that is made with Javascript, and then to serverside MongoDB. It is possible use mouse or touchscreen to drag drop reorder board icons at All Boards page, swimlanes, lists, cards and checklists. There are also roles at righ…
Thank your for this info!
