I do most of my thinking and planning on Trello boards. It almost feels like a part of my brain. Ever since Trello was acquired by Atlassian, I've been planning to replace it - in the long term - waiting for signals that Atlassian is degrading my experience. It hasn't happened yet but I am assume that it's a matter of time. I've been wanting an open source Trello clone with a native desktop client for a while now. Go…

While it is maintained by Atlassian, I found this react library really useful for making customized Trello boards for myself https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd

Creating cards that made sense for my use case was fun... I was going to play with adding a card type that I could work on to create notes with my apple pencil, a bit like postit notes... Anyway, a silly side project for me I guess, but worth a look if you're heavily invested in Kanban format

I have been using Kanboard for some time now, and can recommend it. There is - as far as I know it - not yet a native desktop client, but the web-interface works quite well: https://kanboard.org/ (not affiliated in any way - just a safisfied user)

That looks cool! Does it have APIs?

Edit: yes it has!

I'll be trying this tonight.

I really like kanban boards for organizing my work but one feature I really miss in nearly all solutions is a way to schedule my day using existing tasks in a board. And preferably in a stand-alone way rather than adding it to my google calender.

I'm currently using paymo [1], which does a great job at this. Example of what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/3Re9sXn But I'm open for switching to any alternatives.

Assumption: Most teams which use a kanban system would work just as efficiently with a couple of org-mode files.

We use images/diagrams/LaTex/etc to communicate a number of tasks that are inherently visual, not to mention needing somewhere on the cloud to access it centrally.

As a casual org-mode user, I fail to see how org-mode is really relevant for a team-centric tool.

I suppose this only affects you if you have a second account attached to your Trello boards, but there was a thread about Atlassian transferring ownership of personal boards to a company yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22873578

It's a specific pitfall that -- for a lot of people -- can be easily avoided, but it doesn't speak to them being friendly towards individual users.
