I like the idea. It looks like something that could work for me. Minor rant. I dislike the install section. It just assumes I already know everything about how to do it. I ran into similar issues when I was trying to setup Kimai. Install instructions basically forced me to spend time hunting down howtos, resolving issues that came up during my attempt ( arrgh ), and later just throw my hands in the air as Kimai insta…
Any use this with Jira? Do you recommend?
In short, it's quite good. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but generally it's a solid piece of software which doesn't crash very often at all. The default design leaves a lot to be desired, but that can be easily fixed with CSS tweaks. Also, the performance can be very, very poor if there are a lot of cards open at once. The best process is to make sure any completed task is not just moved to a "Finished" column, but is actually Closed, so it no longer shows on the board. The Gantt chart (via a plugin, which used to be part of the core software) is a bit clunky. Exporting reports for management is also poor. Only a raw CSV export is available. There's also no actively developed mobile client. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with it for work projects, but don't use it for my personal stuff.

Slightly unrelated: It looks like the author is the same as the self-hosted RSS reader Miniflux which I've been using for 4-6 months now and has been fantastic (Miniflux is linked in the footer and the primary committer is the same on both repos).

We started using it long ago because it was one of the really nice looking self-hosted git repo hosts with very nice code review.

Fun fact: The way kanban is used in project management is different than the original kanban used in manufacturing plants. In "IRL" kanban cards are handed _backwards_ to the previous station to signal demand, so things don't get worked on, unless they are needed downstream.
Agile card boards like this bear little resemblance to Kanban, but the name caught on with the original Kanban software book. It is still a decent book though, and does in fact cover many of the principles of lean kanban. That said, I've rarely met a team using a kanban board that is familiar with the book or the principles of kanban.
