For 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!

Okay,so obsidian looks really cool but from what I see on their page it is not open source right?

Any open source equivalents?

> 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 y…

Php is a fine language nowadays.

I used to work at a company that was heavy on php but had very good practices, and the php runtime was quite good.

It’s more GTD than kanban, but I’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of this stack: - radicale as a caldav server with calendars per context, like @Writing, @Chores ( https://radicale.org/v3.html ) - todoman for cli tasks ( https://github.com/pimutils/todoman ) - iOS reminders for mobile Everything syncs, and because it’s standards based it’s portable if a little clunky. There’s also Vikunja, but I didn’t like it as…

I recently switched from Kanboard to vikunja. Main reason is that it is more mobile friendly, which allows to jot down ideas quickly or to use it as a grocery lists.

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.

Their docs (https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison?_highlight=is...) bring me to this GitHub issue, which suggests that implementing Kanban is in progress: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/14710

Personally, I think it's great that the features are there (much like you also get with GitLab), but I might opt for a more specialized solution that has been around for longer. For some folks the coupling isn't an issue and is welcomed instead, though!

Surprisingly no one has mentioned nullboard ( https://nullboard.io/preview ) yet. Just a single file JSON to carry around the entire board.

I definitely recall seeing some other kanban implementation done in a very similar way, in that all state was kept client side in the browser, server-side was basically just a html page with some JS.

Now that I google around there seems to be plenty of such projects around, and I don't remember which one it was that I had bumped into before.

Whenever I tried software-kanban tools they always fell into the abyss of things-not-currently-in-my-head and end up unused. I ended up making physical boards, either in a small part of my whiteboard at uni or by getting a small whiteboard for myself. Having it physically present and physically limited in space, just makes it so much easier to work with ... for me that is.

People like pretty things. The tool (and the landing page) could really use some work to attract more people to this tool.

Please no. The trending way to make this "Pretty" is to round all the corners, add tons of whitespace, remove text labels from buttons for bespoke iconography, hide half the features in a hamburger menu, and add a full height side gutter for 3 icons.

No thanks, give me a tool that shows me content and options I can apply to it and forego the rest.

IMHO a very capable FOSS competitor for Obsidian is LogSeq (https://logseq.com/). I use Logseq since 6 month and love it. There also exists a Kanban Plugin for LogSeq, which I have not yet tried... https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin
