Still on Trello for now. Tempted to try building something from scratch since I can always see myself using such a system.

Can you go into detail on "modern"? The problem with project management systems is that you have four important levers: * configurability (enforcing rules, custom workflows, triggers) * usability of the UI (speed, simplicity) * multi-user (including consistency between users) * scale (number of projects, users, tickets) You can't have all those at the same time. If you want it to be very configurable, you have to cho…
By 'modern' I was thinking about system with most of the features that Jira and others have, but with fast backend and fast javascript UI. I don't think that speed is dependent on simplicity. One could make an advanced system with all the features that is still optimized for speed. There are other programs that check all the boxed, just not one for project management. I guess everyone is used to it. :)
FWIW, more alternatives are listed here https://alternativeshub.gitlab.io/kanban-board/ with comparison ranking. IIRC, they're sourced from the awesome list
It's easy to miss that this is by the same people making Mattermost, the open-source self-hosted slack alternative you might have heard of. https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard
So should we expect them to roll out some community edition lacking essential features to kind of force people to use the (paying, closed-source) entreprise edition ? Some basic features have been wanted for years in the mattermost CE edition, while being implemented in the EE edition, like the capability to prevent users to kick other users from channels ( https://forum.mattermost.org/t/users-can-kick-other-users-of…
I’m just surprised few weeks ago i was looking at self hosted notion/trello like alternatives and now I just came across this. The project just looks really cool and I’m definitely going to download and try this. I just wanted to thank the developers from the bottom of my heart for creating this. Lastly I’m just curious is it possible to host this on a raspberry pi
Focalboard team here, thank you so much for the recognition! We're working super hard to build something that benefits our community. While there's not formal support for Raspberry Pi right now, we'd welcome a the feature idea, here's more on how to share feedback: https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/wiki/Share-your-fee... !
https://www.openproject.org/ I am always surprised when people don't mention Open Project. Cos isn't this fragmentation? Open Project... - Have been there for a long time. - Good motivated team AFAIK, - Have forum software. - Project board - And even version control! Everything self hosted or enterprise/cloud for serious stuff or people who want to support them. Or is there some other reason why openproject is not kn…
Focalboard team here, thanks for the comment! We weren't aware of Open Project previously, and we're glad to hear about it. I think you're right, Focalboard is a lot earlier than Open Project, and it doesn't have as many features. Focalboard was starting during the Mattermost 2020 Hacktoberfest last year: https://mattermost.com/blog/hacktoberfest-2020-recap/ It's in the early stages of development, only v0.6 right no…
I would say, if 2FA is not already available, 2FA! This is the biggest bumper when I have to choose Open project.
Also, Appimage or Flatpak would be great for easier installation for Linux users. Please don't publish ONLY to snapstore if you're planning. Snap might be good for the Mattermost, but the users dread it and each snap adds boot time to the user's machine which is why I stopped using it. Please add a flatpak or appimage if you plan to add it as snap in snapstore! :)

I've actually just started using Notion and the UI is nice, as is the feature set, but yeah, I'm getting a little annoyed by the constant page loads. I mean this kind of thing continues to fuel my beliefs that software is going backwards here because frankly, how hard can it be to render some text?
> how hard can it be to render some text? It really depends. If the only thing you care about rendering is US ASCII with a monospace bitmapped font, that's not too hard. However, a general purpose text renderer will have to handle things like directionality (left to right versus right to left text orientation), wide/half text rendering (for CJK characters), combining characters (for some European, South East Asian la…
I love Notion but the speed, or rather lack of, is killing me daily. Last Friday I was taking some notes, and suddenly the page refreshed and everything was gone. Went on twitter to see, I wasn't alone .. i feel like hosting my own notion clone is the way to go forward to use Notion...
Focalboard team here. You can try the "Focalboard Personal Desktop" to run locally where your performance won't be affected by other users. We made it available in Windows Store and Apple AppStore to make it easy to try out. This is just a v0.6 right now, and we would love bug reports and enhancement ideas. It's the early days of the project and we are excited to hear input: https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/i…
I would prefer a simple non-store app, a portable app perhaps. Can I get a classic zip/whatever?
Focalboard team here! Huge thanks to everyone who's sharing feedback and comments. It is super exciting to be trending on HackerNews! We've just put up a new Wiki page for people to share feature ideas, to join our Discourse forum, and to report bugs: https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/wiki/Share-your-fee... ! Thank y'all so much for being interested in our project and our space! We've been working super hard t…
