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…

Thank you for this. Not everyone needs to setup yet another service for simple project management.

Assumption: Most teams which use a kanban system would work just as efficiently with a couple of org-mode files.

Kanban relies on sensory intuition. Org-mode requires you to build up a whole new epistemological relationship to the elements of an outline. They are pretty different, and Org-mode requires a _lot_ of time investment.

It depends on what you're used to use. "Kanban" systems escape my intuitions.

In the same vein - https://nullboard.io/preview or https://github.com/apankrat/nullboard

I like that a lot. It would be super nice if I could change the background of the items. That way I could color code things that really need to get taken care of NOW.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

What stops you from using graphics in shared org files?

... Can't tell if you're being facetious or not, but here's a sample trello board that mimics our workflow:

This is not a good fit for org-mode, despite what any number of org-mode zealots say.

I think from a casual user perspective, knowing how to do it ;-)

I'm not a casual user. The inline images functionality of org-mode sucks in comparison.

I think it is usable enough. Specially if you worry about privacy this is a good tool. A thing most people don't like about Trello is that it is not encrypted on the server side.

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…
