Tangential: What are popular options for self-hosting project management tools these days? There used to be Trac or Redmine but people seemed to move on and have settle on hosting solutions (which makes sense). But there must be some self-hosting alternatives. Maybe GitLab? Any tips are welcome.

I use and really like Gitea: https://gitea.io/ You could also have a look at a recent Gitea fork, with a very unfortunate and cumbersome name: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

It's derived from Esperanto and the word "forge". It is pronounced for-jay-oh.

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

Assuming "kanban" is the Japanese 看板[1] ("kanban", billboard), the Department of Redundancy Department would like a word with you and Kanboard regarding "kanban board". [1]: https://jisho.org/search/%E7%9C%8B%E6%9D%BF

Led lights, PIN numbers, and ATM Machines are all members of this phenomena, I wonder what it is called...

Kindly also report the usage of "Chai Tea" ('Chai' means 'Tea' in Pakistan/India, which is where that flavor originated from)

And it's actually masala chai.

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…

I got around this by making the text in the card a link to another file/page.

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/

In my opinion, the fact that it is feature complete and no big changes are expected is a strong point. It means if I put the time to learn this tool, it will not change on next update and get on my way.

Yea, each addition was lined with good intentions -- I don't want to prioritize the entire backlog but do want to filter out the worst ideas and the "hurry up and wait" stuff.

Sounds like one of those places where adding a new category can solve all categorisation issues except having too many categories. Same principle holds for layers (of management, abstraction), levels of indirection etc.

A category for everything, including categories.

I use this too! I wish there was a better way to self-host keeping a vault up to date on the Android client, though.

There is also another one: using the self-hosted LiveSync plugin.[0] This uses CouchDB.

When I was evaluating open source Kanban recently I found WeKan had the closest REST API compatibility with Trello: https://wekan.github.io

I can no longer edit, but it's worth noting that I went through my Trellinator libs and updated for use with WeKan, throwing exceptions where functionality doesn't yet exist:

https://github.com/iaindooley/trellinator-libs

https://github.com/iaindooley/trellinator

I made a list of things that would need to be implemented in WeKan and/or the WeKan API to make it on-par with Trello (screenshot here of my checklist in Trello for this :)
