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 Tr…

Thanks! I added issue about it:

Is it an application?

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

I'm pretty sure the ellipsis replaces another word... "a productivity application" or whatever

This is by the same person who made miniflux! It's a fantastic, minimal (just the right amount of functionality to be good ) RSS feed reader. It's how I got here :) https://miniflux.app/

Unrelated, but I was looking a very long time to re-discover this app (someone else posted it here some time ago). It was impossible to search for, and I haven't bookmarked it. And now I have it. Thank you!

For projects like this you could easily search something like "rss feed selfhosted reddit"

> 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…

Please stop waving the flag!

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 gotta say thank you! You just introduced me to Obsidian! So far, love the app and the Kanban plugin. The plugin is basic, but gets the job done for my needs. My only gripe is Obsidian isn't open source and will probably deteriorate over the years. But I love how it's all markdown, so I should hopefully be able to transfer my data to something else when that happens.

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

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

I used YouTrack from around 2015 (maybe late 2015) til late 2016 at a former employer, and they only used it because a vendor of theirs used it...and everyone loved it; hence started using in in-house. It really was quite comprehensive, fluid, and lovely to work with from a user perspective. But, I'm sorry, nowadays and for some time now, unless something is open source, i either heavily hesitate or avoid using where…

I understand the reasoning, and YouTrack will fail the open-source test. I mention it as an option because we needed a self-hosted project management platform (for regulatory reasons), and I could not find any open-source options that I could put in front of non-tech people with a straight face. FOSS surprisingly skips over this area (maybe because many engineers seem to dislike "project management").

> ...FOSS surprisingly skips over this area...

You're not wrong, sadly! While i think there are FOSS options for managing projects, i feel they work only effectively for individuals or very small teams. Maybe also if the small team works in a small (or non-profit) org where there might be less need for corporate style work constraints. But, once you go up a level, and the team gets bigger, or more sophisticated (tech or non-tech, doesn't matter), or even if a small team but operating in a bigger org...that is when many FOSS project management stacks fail to live up to hype. I say as a staunch FOSS advocate, sadly!

Have you tried Joplin? It's open source. I liked it very much but ultimately ended up using a folder of markdown files and using vscode to edit them. It works great. The only issue is that long hyperlinks become unreadable.
