For personal use I can recommend this Obsidian plugin. It turns a markdown file into a Kanban board. https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban

I tried this Kanban plugin and ultimately ditched it. I do think it's superior to the other Obsidian plugin, CardBoard (which has some advantages too, namely that it works great with the tasks already in your Obsidian vault) but I ditched Obsidian Kanban because there was no way for me to just view one card. This is a crucial feature for me - while I'm working I do not want to look at the whole board. I want to focus on just the card I'm working on.

My current favorite open source project management software is Redmine. https://www.redmine.org

It doesn't meet today's design trends but it works perfectly for tracking and updating issues on projects. when I was a consultant I used it to track time and export that to make invoices.

Yeah except it’s a weird license and it’s losing support:

https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard

It seems like it was a successful test product for Mattermost (more power to them).

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/

You could technically use an IMAP server and client as a Kanban board. Make a folder per swim-lane, make a backlog, move e-mails from one folder to another as you get each item done, share the mailbox with your team. IMAP already supports searching, filters, flags, attachments. You can treat a thread of replies as comments on the original item and move them all as a group. Create a custom client to hide the fact that the backend store is basically an immutable log journal of MIME entries.

I don't think a kanban board really needs constant new features.

At some point, it wouldn't be a "kanban" board any more.

This is awesome. This is all I need for personal projects, and I've been looking for a "kanban lite" for a while.

I love mattermost and use it on the daily. I got it as a self hosted version of discord but I played around with the focalboard as well. Being a project manager I felt it held its own against many of other SaaS overpriced project boards like Monday.com. still needs some work though but I'd recommend it.

Anyone know if this supports swim lanes, or nested boards?

I hope not, adding that kind of bloat tends to be what kills these things.

Swim lanes are essential for larger team sizes and I rarely see web based kanban boards support the.
