I've been testing using AI coding agents by asking an AI acting as a software designer to build a set of kanban style cards as .md files in a directory, designing the work we talked about into cards for AI developers. It works quite well, and then you can review the cards (as files) and then ask another AI agent running as whatever role is suitable for that card, to pick up the card by name and do the work. But there…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How does it compare to the existing open-source boards, such as: https://wekan.github.io/ https://taiga.io/ https://kanboard.org/

also Obsidian with Kanban plugin

Obsidian is not open-source.

Hey 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!

I think one thing that might help the discussion would be if you could explain a bit more about what you didn't like or thought was missing from other alternatives. IMO, there's nothing wrong with building an alternative because you wanted to, but if there is some feature that you're specifically trying to do support, it would be helpful to mention it here.

Im curious about the choice of Next.js for an open source project as Next.js is notoriously painful to deploy to anything other than Vercel.

Maybe it's difficult to deploy to your platform of choice. Deploying to AWS amplify or deploying using sst is matter of minutes or hour.

I have deployed several next.js projects within an hour (not hours) that were created by different teams. The hour includes settings up DNS, CI/CD using github and deploying to AWS Amplify.

Edit: Why are you down voting it? Is this unbelievable? I have deployed 5/6 next.js projects and none of them are on vercel.

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.

The market for an on-premise, developer maintained solution is way bigger for a product like this than the cloud version.

We made the exact same, incorrect assumption with https://github.com/Flagsmith/flagsmith several years ago. The market for data sensitive on-premise delpoyments is a LOT bigger than most people would imagine.

For Flagsmith, the majority of our revenue comes from on-premise deployments.

Shouldn't this be a "Show HN:" post?
