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…

If you want a desktop (Windows and Mac) Kanban application you might want to look at: https://www.hyperplan.com

It is commercial software. I am the author.

I like that a lot. It would be super nice if I could change the background of the items. That way I could color code things that really need to get taken care of NOW.

If you are looking for a personal Kanban application where you can colour the cards, please see: https://www.hyperplan.com (I am the author)

Thanks! I liked nullboard pretty minimal design and that the tasks can be one line or multiline. Most of the kanaban tools look like post it notes, and I liked that the tasks were mininimal size.

All I was missing is to be able to stick one of 4-8 colors on the background of the box.

I'll have some time to look at hyperplan, thanks for the pointer

the disclaimer about backups is a bit scary... makes me want to use something a bit more reliable/recoverable/version controllable...

> Backups of Wekan database with mongodump once a day miminum required. Bugs, updates, users deleting list or card, harddrive full, harddrive crash etc can eat your data. There is no undo yet.

I used Wekan a while ago when I wanted to try a kanban board for organizing my personal tasks at work. Trello was out of question since it stores the data externally. I found the UX on Wekan and Trello were hard to compare, Trello being polished and hassle free while Wekan still felt like work in progress and many things were straight out broken. This was like a year ago, though, so maybe it has improved since.

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)

Also running this on a raspberry pi I have stuffed somewhere in a closet, it's genuinely great. Web interface even works decently on mobile (mostly use it for viewing and dragging not creating issues).

If anyone is looking for another open source solution, there's https://github.com/greggigon/my-personal-kanban . What's neat about the above one is it's a single offline html file that you open in your browser and everything is saved to local storage (but it has a JSON export / import feature for more robust backups). Of course that means it's really only usable for 1 person, but if you're a solo developer, it's a br…

In the same vein - https://nullboard.io/preview or https://github.com/apankrat/nullboard

So simple and elegant. I have adopted it. Thank you !

Kanban relies on sensory intuition. Org-mode requires you to build up a whole new epistemological relationship to the elements of an outline. They are pretty different, and Org-mode requires a _lot_ of time investment.

It depends on what you're used to use. "Kanban" systems escape my intuitions.

I'm talking about physically moving cards from one column to another. The skeuomorphism is preserved there.

FeathersJS + Nuxt/Next (or any front end you want) has been a good combo for me. Meteor always had a blocking issue for me every time I'd try to use it.

I like FeatherJS as well. What kind of blocking issues? you mean getting it to run?

Usually it was a feature I wanted to use that was broken. It's been a while, so I forget specifics.

Requiring mongodb was another factor a few times as well. This was before Mongo had ACID transactions or any built-in options to save immediately to disk.
