I found the UX on Wekan and Trello were hard to compare, Trello being polished and hassle free while Wekan still felt like work in progress and many things were straight out broken.
This was like a year ago, though, so maybe it has improved since.
Wekan uses meteor.js which is really one of the worst frameworks out there. It breaks on so many ocasions and has really bad OS support. Event he current maintainer kind of dislikes the framework... The worst part about metor is that it forces you to use MongoDB!
While I tend to agree from a personal perspective, however the Wekan project especially seems to be able to pump out lots of very nice features at a high rate, thanks to meteor. Additionally to this, we at Cloudron update the app package about twice a week due to that and so far had very little breakage or regressions, compared to other apps. We do not update meteor often though, which is maybe contributing to the st…
I do most of my thinking and planning on Trello boards. It almost feels like a part of my brain. Ever since Trello was acquired by Atlassian, I've been planning to replace it - in the long term - waiting for signals that Atlassian is degrading my experience. It hasn't happened yet but I am assume that it's a matter of time. I've been wanting an open source Trello clone with a native desktop client for a while now. Go…
If anyone is looking for another open source solution, there's https://github.com/greggigon/my-personal-kanban . What's neat about the above one is it's a single offline html file that you open in your browser and everything is saved to local storage (but it has a JSON export / import feature for more robust backups). Of course that means it's really only usable for 1 person, but if you're a solo developer, it's a br…

I 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…
Not associated with them, just a happy user.
I used Wekan a while ago when I wanted to try a kanban board for organizing my personal tasks at work. Trello was out of question since it stores the data externally. I found the UX on Wekan and Trello were hard to compare, Trello being polished and hassle free while Wekan still felt like work in progress and many things were straight out broken. This was like a year ago, though, so maybe it has improved since.
