Nullboard: Kanban board in a single HTML file

What about "single HTML file" sets up an expectation about size? I'm genuinely confused. They seem like nearly unrelated concepts—this isn't a project about trying to fit a kanban board into a kilobyte or anything like that.
I think there are reasonable expectations around code quality that most projects adhere to, e.g.: - Split JS out from HTML, split CSS out from HTML - Keep files reasonably small So if I read "Single HTML file" I'd expect around a couple hundred lines at most, possibly with some embedded CSS. It's kind of like saying "I've solved your problem in one line of JS" but then your line of JS is 1000 characters long and is a…
You see "single HTML file" and think "split JS out, split CSS out"? Did you not see that it was single file?? The title of this wasn't "hundred file React app".

Why mention it when any project can technically be turned into a single html file? In my opinion there is an expectation of simplicity and as a result a small size with that statement.
The simplicity isn't in editing it, which most users never will do. It is in that you can drop a single file anywhere and not worry about its dependencies.

Your line of questioning is based on an incorrect set of assumptions. The number of clicks is an implementation detail. It depends on whether or not you're using the web file API, some browser download capability, a browser plug-in, a mobile app, desktop app, a webdav server, or something else. For people trying it for the first time, they often have the experience you're describing. But for most anybody that actuall…
Would you be so kind to share how you manage to get them to save without further interaction? That would really add usability. Maybe I did take the ctrl+s too literally, but being pedantic was not my intention. Merely hinting at this usability issue. So a solution would be very welcome. (And I am not the one downvoting you, in fact I couldn't even.) As an aside: I do find these applications very interesting and am co…
I think via something like this:

#165Thank you for sharing.
I remember working with Html applications (HTA) on Windows back with JScript or VBScript.
I am thinking of tools that would make navigating plain text long files useful such as simple table of contents generation or indexes.
Re: Nullboard: Kanban board in a single HTML file
#166Neat, very very well done. One observation: Kanban is all about limiting the work in progress. That’s really its foundation. WIP limit is the main means for controlling and improving overall workflow effectiveness. I would argue that boards not offering a WIP limit are not really “Kanban” boards, as they defeat the very goal of Kanban.
WIP limits are not important to me.
I use my Trello boards for mental hygiene.
Something comes in, I put it on the board to get it out of my head. Then, when appropriate, I go to the board, rearrange the top 5 or so items by priority, then start on the top item.
Many things never get done, but they have turned out to lower priority, by definition.
If I am waiting for something to happen on a current task, I put it second or third in the queue.
Keeps me sane....

I totally understand your take, but as a guy that spends most of his time on side projects working on single HTML files, I have a different perspective. I find the totally self-contained nature of them very appealing because it travels well through space and time, and it's incredibly accessible, both online and offline. My current side project is actually using a WebDAV server to host a wide variety of different sing…
> construct a file in such a way that it can create an updated copy of itself and save it back to the server Is there some way to accomplish this through GitHub? Like the single html file running on GitHub.io pages can commit the changes to its repo?
You should be able to use the Smart HTTP protocol with HTTP Basic Auth (https://git-scm.com/docs/http-protocol) to push a locally-created commit. Forgejo supports CORS here, but I don't know whether GitHub does.

#168From the readme: > Still very much in beta. The last commit was November 2023.
Well, I didn't have a need to add or to change anything since then. Here's the full timeline to get a general sense of the development pace - http://nullboard.io/changes
So I went and checked my suggestion on colors. You pulled it, but then never actually implemented it (unless I don't know how to toggle it). Are you going to add colors to the current version or should I go back and retro merge the color code I have?

Good question. I try to avoid proprietary software when I can, so if I wanted something like this I’d definitely look for open source options first. I’ll endure a reasonable amount of setup pain as long as the solution is what I’m after to go the open source route over a proprietary app. For example, your idea seems to sit somewhere between Alfred (which I’ve bought every upgrade/ultimate pack/whatever for) or Raycas…
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply, it's given me a list of things to think about and it's honestly really appreciated. Completely understand the open source side of things and avoiding proprietary tech, I'm exactly the same and only standing on the shoulders of other open source software. I'm utilising SQLite and FAISS, so just files on disk that technically _any_ frontend or whatev…
Thanks for taking the time to think about these things upfront rather than just cynically chasing money like 99% of paid/monetised apps out there.
It will greatly increase the attractiveness of your software to me if you stick to the philosophy you’ve outlined there.
One approach that I’ve seen and have absolutely no issues with (in fact I think it’s a pretty smart way of doing things) is where a fully open source project provides code and releases on GitHub and in package managers like Homebrew, but also publishes releases as paid software on app stores.
This allows users to pay for the peace of mind of a “verified” app store install that Just Works. It also provides an easy way for the more technical among us to donate. I’ve switched to paid releases like this myself for a least a couple of fully open source projects just to give a little back.
Re: Nullboard: Kanban board in a single HTML file
#170I think "single HTML file" sets up a certain expectation that a five-thousand-line long HTML file with ~3500 lines of embedded JS doesn't really live up to. I mean, hey, everything can be a single HTML file if you embed the bundle inline in your HTML! Cool project, though - don't mean to take away anything from it.
