Is it API-compatible with Trello? That would rock, being able to use Trello extensions.

Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan.

Wekan has API and Outgoing Webhooks, but they are different than Trello:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Features#api

Is it possible to use Trello extensions and integrate them with only Trello API ? And is it allowed to use Trello extensions outside Trello ? Or would they require separate integration to Wekan ?

For example on Trello templates can not be used outside Trello:

https://trello.com/inspiration

For general integration (similar to Zapier) there is plan to use Open Source tool Huginn:

Does it have Authentication yet? Last time I checked there were no users or administrations or any permissions

Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan.

For Standalone Wekan, Teams/Organizations/User admin is currently at planning stage:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there a reason things like LDAP and SAML are Sandstorm only?

I suspect that the primary developers may be unfamiliar with AD/LDAP. https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/119

Wekan is pretty much fully community contribution-driven. So the answer for it not having it's own AD/LDAP support at this point is that nobody has seemed interested in actually doing it and submitting a PR.

If you want to do Kanban right, double down on making it possible to design actual Kanban workflows. Pretty ticket UI with checklists and GIFs must be secondary to this goal. Things that most actual Kanban flows have that no one has built into a decent product[0]: - Nested columns in lanes - Rows for class-of-service - WIP limits (per lane, per column, and per class-of-service) - Sub-boards for meta issues The actual…

KanbanFlow, https://kanbanflow.com/ , is pretty serious about their Kanban implementation. Worth a look!

I think that's the first Kanban interface I've seen that actually looks enticing. There's something very satisfying about the spacing.

I really like kanbanflow as a product. For example they also have a pretty nice integrated pomodoro timer with interruption logging.

However the reason I moved back to Trello was the interface was a bit old-fashioned, and I found it hard to get my team on-board on kanbanflow wheras it was really easy to get them going on Trello.

Maybe YouTrack from JetBrains, these folks got some things right.

Apart from them taking 7+ years to not implement the tiniest of UI features https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-4526

what's the storage backed for this app ? Also shout out to https://greggigon.github.io/my-personal-kanban/ that is a simple and offline board

Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan. Wekan can be used locally on local network that is not connected to Internet. There is no offline sync yet. Wekan is made with Meteor.js Javascript framework, using Node.js and MongoDB as backend currently. There is possibility to use read-only mirroring to PostgreSQL using ToroDB: https://github.com/wekan/wekan-postgresql but currently there's this bug, please wait for it to be f…

Bug is now fixed, read-only mirroring to PostgreSQL using ToroDB works again:
