Why does it look like that though. I wish open source projects would spend a bit more time on design.

I actually like it, apart from maybe text needing a little bit more padding when close to the edges of the cards etc.

The UI is minimalist without feeling like it's lacking, it's usable and the performance is great because it doesn't try to have lots of fancy gradients or animations for the sake of it.

Still using OpenProject because of the nice multi-project feature set there and Jira having rotten my brain, but Kanboard is easily 10x times faster than the sluggish OpenProject experience.

This is by the same person who made miniflux! It's a fantastic, minimal (just the right amount of functionality to be good ) RSS feed reader. It's how I got here :) https://miniflux.app/

It looks fantastic but I think they should have chosen sqlite over postgres in this case since it aims to be minimal

Wow, that certainly explains the minimalist strength of Kanboard.

The README in the GitHub project repository says: > “This application is in maintenance mode.” Source: https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard I think there are better open-source kanban-style applications out there that are also actively maintained. For example: https://opensourcealternatives.org/project/planka/

Maybe it's my age (after certain number one becomes super lazy..), but self host anything that requires me to install something is too much of an ask. Provide a binary that I can drop on my /remote/ machine and I may consider using it.

Docker containers solved this for me. I can’t remember the last time I installed a web app.
