Why does it look like that though. I wish open source projects would spend a bit more time on design.
Check out https://www.taiga.io/ ?
Yes much nicer. Hence more popular too.

#32I've been looking for a new Kanban system ever since Restyaboard has slowed down. Does anyone know how this compares against Taiga or WeKan?
It's also got a decent codebase that's easy to extend via plugins.

Kanboard is featureful, simple to use, and very fast to load. Hosting wekan was a pain and the UX just sucked compared to Kanboard. I highly recommend Kanboard or Gitea’s kanban issue boards if you’re already using that.
If Gitea has kanban now, they're a great rec.

#34If you need/want self-hosting, and something more comprehensive, I recommend YouTrack ( https://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/ ) as an excellent replacement for self-hosted Jira&co. It's not open source, but it's free for <10 users and cheap beyond that.
I used YouTrack from around 2015 (maybe late 2015) til late 2016 at a former employer, and they only used it because a vendor of theirs used it...and everyone loved it; hence started using in in-house. It really was quite comprehensive, fluid, and lovely to work with from a user perspective. But, I'm sorry, nowadays and for some time now, unless something is open source, i either heavily hesitate or avoid using where possible. Mind you, I am not against any entity making money - in fact its quite possible to do so with open source - it is simply that i value the principles of open source. The moiment that jetbrains opens up that source code, i will give them my money to pay them to manage hosting for a YouTrack instance. Separate of my ethics/values, again, i can not deny that the product was rocksolid in so many ways! ;-)

#35oh I was just looking for OSS/self-hosted Kanban software! Is there anything HN recommends that also works well on mobile (iOS)?
Someone else recommend the Obsidian kanban plugin in another comment. Obsidian runs on both desktop and mobile.

#36This 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
Postgres makes sense if you take into account the paid hosting option (which is what I use), which requires multi-tenant support. I agree, SQLite would be way more convenient from a hosting standpoint, but minimalism on the user side does not have to mean minimalism on the hosting side.

#38For personal use I can recommend this Obsidian plugin. It turns a markdown file into a Kanban board. https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban
There doesn't seem to be anything that doesn't exist as an Obsidian plugin!

#39I actually ended up making a physical Kanban board at home in a central location. Relatively large corkboard using 3x5 index cards, with a few layers of backlog, in-progress lane with a hard cap of 2 cards, and about 1/3 of the space reserved for done cards. This last bit should be unnecessary in theory but I find psychologically satisfying to look at. This is for shared use by the family.

#40The 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.
Installing in this case means copying files to your web server.
