Assumption: Most teams which use a kanban system would work just as efficiently with a couple of org-mode files.
We use images/diagrams/LaTex/etc to communicate a number of tasks that are inherently visual, not to mention needing somewhere on the cloud to access it centrally. As a casual org-mode user, I fail to see how org-mode is really relevant for a team-centric tool.

#22Assumption: Most teams which use a kanban system would work just as efficiently with a couple of org-mode files.
I've often thought about writing a trello-like whose backend was simply markdown or org-mode files that was versioned in a real version control system. There is nothing in the Trello UI that really precludes it (and in fact, there was at one point a program that allowed you to talk to the trello API and grab/push org-mode oriented data from Emacs -- I never found it worked particularly well, though).

#23I really like kanban boards for organizing my work but one feature I really miss in nearly all solutions is a way to schedule my day using existing tasks in a board. And preferably in a stand-alone way rather than adding it to my google calender. I'm currently using paymo [1], which does a great job at this. Example of what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/3Re9sXn But I'm open for switching to any alternatives. [1]: https…

What stops you from using graphics in shared org files?

#26Assumption: Most teams which use a kanban system would work just as efficiently with a couple of org-mode files.
That's what I use for my personal stuff that I do. I like being able to cut and paste to reprioritise, etc. Also, when planning, having a real editor makes things go so much more smoothly. However, for people who are consumers rather than producers of the plan, I have found considerable friction about removing their drag and drop, table oriented UI. I've often thought about writing a trello-like whose backend was sim…

#27The font sizes and weights look inconsistent and random.
Send a PR to fix that, the devs will probably appreciate the help.
Vast majority of people will have no desire or time to "send a PR" after seeing it for the first time. And those who will be inclined to do that don't need a public reminder to that effect. But their feedback is still valuable and the "do better and send a PR" remarks achieve nothing but alienating people by looking dismissive of their comments.

Each board is a directory. Each column in a board is a file. Each task is a line in the file. Open up the directory in the text editor of your choice. Move tasks with your normal cut & paste commands that you use for everything else. Keep the whole thing in version control.

#29Anyone using/used this in a team and know if its actually a good replacement for trello?
We run it in a Docker container with LDAP integration so that people can log in with their Windows accounts. The operating of it has been very straightforward.

That's an empty advice. Vast majority of people will have no desire or time to "send a PR" after seeing it for the first time.
