#62I actually ended up making a physical Kanban board at home in a central location. Relatively large corkboard using 3x5 index cards, with a few layers of backlog, in-progress lane with a hard cap of 2 cards, and about 1/3 of the space reserved for done cards. This last bit should be unnecessary in theory but I find psychologically satisfying to look at. This is for shared use by the family.

#63For personal use I can recommend this Obsidian plugin. It turns a markdown file into a Kanban board. https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-kanban
I use this too! I wish there was a better way to self-host keeping a vault up to date on the Android client, though.
There is! Fair warning that it's a little bit clunky. (which is to say, you may have to manually push buttons to commit/push/pull) I'm not the author, just a happy user.

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 kids enjoy moving cards from lane to lane, and we also enjoy looking at the left side together and moving cards around according to priority. Just like PMs at a prioritization meeting :-)
So far it's worked out OK but I feel it's because I am the primary user. When the kids get older or to get the SO to use it more I feel we might need to come up with private sections, or color code the cards or similar and change the in-progress rules. It's still a very fun physical activity kind of like browsing books at a brick-and-mortar store or library.

#65oh I was just looking for OSS/self-hosted Kanban software! Is there anything HN recommends that also works well on mobile (iOS)?
WeKan https://wekan.github.io works on iOS as PWA https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA
iPhone shows mobile optimized interface. iPad shows desktop interface.
There are features related to drag-drop and multiple screens:

#66I've been looking for a new Kanban system ever since Restyaboard has slowed down. Does anyone know how this compares against Taiga or WeKan?
I'd like to know, too.
WeKan is absolutely great! But self-hosting it is a bit cumbersome; except when using it as a Sandstorm (sandstorm.io) web app.

How does Obsidian work? Is it an app/client only which has its data local?

#68The 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/
Planka https://github.com/plankanban/planka changed license from MIT to AGPLv3.
There is MIT license based fork at:

#69I've been hosting a Wekan instance for some time now and use it for work, school and personal lists. I'll have to check out Kanboard, but it would really have to knock my socks off to get me to switch from Wekan.

#70Less can be more. I'd use this over JIRA any day.
