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…

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?

What is with you people and the quest of degrading your own while feeling really happy about it like it's some amazing thing?

AI is just a tool, it's no more useful than a non-complaining junior dev that constantly needs direction, but it sure can cut out a lot of repetitive work. I am more productive using it, but that is just me.

I use ai myself as stack exchange but this sentiment is extremely common on HN where you have people trying to force ai to do things it's clearly shit for. Not to mention the rust your brain gathers by not doing these little 'mundane' things. LLMS are a useless dead end anyway all these billion dollar corpos building over it, even worse hype than crypto.

But degrading an other is ok? From the very beginning tech was about making jobs easier, and now it’s easier to make jobs easier, including our own. So I think it’s ethically consistent to be happy about both, even if our own jobs are at risk. My rational as to why this is a good thing in general was and remains a focus on generating consumer surplus, it’s this surplus which we as a people derive our wealth. The hope…

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!

Just as a heads up, that roadmap you linked is broken.

The formatting looks all off for me on chrome mac (black bars) and then if I click on a card it opens a window but then doesn't load any data.

Also it looks like a bug that if you filter by some tags, then click a card, the filter gets reset.

This is 5 secs of testing on the one board you have publicly shared, so there might be a few bugs to iron out!

This looks really nice! I loved trello and I'm always happy to see alternatives. My two cents: I use the keyboard a lot, so when I hit "enter" on a form, e.g. to create a board, it closes the popup instead of creating that board.

Yep, the "market" is littered with Trello clones. I was also a big fan - until they went downhill (basically everything post-Atlassian). What most of the clones miss, is Trello's enormous attention to details - like excellent keyboard navigation.

What I also miss, is that with Trello, a board is a board, a list is a list, and a card is a card. The builtins are simple and flexible, the add-ons are optional. Most clones try too hard to guardrail boards into a ticket tracking system. We already have Jira for that.

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…

Not exactly what you are after, but related. There is ForgeFed [0] as a standard for code forge federation. It is an extension of ActivityPub [1] social web protocol, and thus far includes all the basic elements to facilitate task management / kanban. The project is wholly volunteer-driven, and recently received NLnet support to mature the standard further. Recently the maintainers were asking for feedback to help improve the specs. Various forges such as Gitlab [2] and Forgejo [3] are adding support for ActivityPub and considering ForgeFed support too.
