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

> Installing in this case means copying files to your web server. In PHP land, once you have the web server set up with the basics, this is just such a nice easy way to deploy software. I actually run Kanboard on the same server as my WordPress blog and installed it simply by throwing the files into a directory. The most complex thing you might need to do is add a new database somewhere but I find it so much less ove…

In Php Land I would say

It's the red waving flag of this project. I cannot understand how people are still arguing for this kind of stuff or stick with this dinosaur language at all.

I am sorry but I have such an aversion against the attitude of "we use xy because of historic reasons but hey actually it is really good because the design pattern that has proven crucial over the last 50 years imo is just overhead and you can just put some files here and there copy a bit of that and... "

In the spirit of sharing, I wanted to mention a project I'm working on, called JustDo.com . We've been developing this enterprise-grade project management and planning tool and have seen validated product-market fit with some Fortune 500 companies.

We believe strongly in the power of open source and we're preparing to go 'Open Core' by this summer (See Community Edition in the pricing page to see what will be Open Sourced). Our intention is to give back to the community and enable more people to benefit from our tool.

If anyone is interested in exploring more about JustDo or participating in our open-source journey, I'd be more than happy to chat or answer any questions you might have :)

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.

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).

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.

As far as chat mattermost does look like a very good Slack-alternative near-F/OSS alternative, but these days Matrix and Zulip are also very good. Did you happen to try those options/do a bakeoff?

As far as kanban/task management goes, Gitea/GitLab/GitHub feels like the right place these days (for software companies). Are there any reasons you prefer a standalone tool over putting the PM stuff a bit closer to the code?

“… is a … software” Should either be “… is a … application” Or “… is … software” edit: Maybe I’m just in-a-mood today. Apologies.

Is it an application?

yes. calling it "a application" is imho a lot worse than using "a software"

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...

We should be reporting them all regardless. Let's just JFDI it.

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

I wish people would appreciate other peoples effort a little bit more. As far as I can tell it is a one man project that has been around for a while. It takes a lot of effort to do this.

It is a valid concern though. It's very common to see technically genius projects, that don't get enough attention because their project landing page looks horrible. I kinda don't understand how people can be so skilled, and put so much effort to make a nice thing, and then completely skimp on the design.

E.g. here it wouldn't even take much. It's mostly just padding issues, and having sharp and rounded corners mixed, and maybe the color palette of the tasks could be improved.

Can you take a picture of it maybe if not too personal... I was planning to do something similar but ended up using white board with grids I drew myself.

I have too much PII on the cards, but it's just a standard cork bulletin board (about 5x3 feet) hanging in landscape orientation, and then I used long strips of paper to make vertical lanes. The middle of the board is the in-progress lane and this is marked with a neon pink paper to stand out, and a big bold note at the top "In Progress - 2 Max!" . To the left are backlog cards, to the right are finished cards. The k…
