I 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.

I've not bothered with a physical board, but I have a massive Trello board. For teams I strongly recommend specialized boards for projects and processes -- the process to migrate a MySQL database will be dramatically different than building an LLM. But for personal stuff, fitting everything into one work flow is fine. If folks are wondering how to use Kanban for personal needs, I currently have 7 columns: Dumb ideas:…

I hold strict to: Backlog, Next, Now, Completed

Is it an application?

Isn’t it? I would call it a web app.

What I really want is a way to get a Pivotal Tracker-looking board in JIRA. Jira for the extra features. Things I love about tracker: - vertical view of the backlog - automatic timing estimates based on velocity - add deadlines and get automatic feedback on how you're going towards it

For some reason I can't get this same clear board with a pull flow in jira.

People in my current industry (healthcare/biotech) often use the terminology "a software" and "these softwares." It irked me at first but eventually I got used to it.

I think it's because every piece of validated software that our company uses, however small, is assigned a unique number (e.g. "SW12345"). They're not all full-blown applications, so we can't call them that. Sometimes they're tiny programs or even just scripts.

Anyway, it's possible the person that wrote this has a background in a similar industry.

It’s more GTD than kanban, but I’ve been getting a lot of mileage out of this stack:

- radicale as a caldav server with calendars per context, like @Writing, @Chores (https://radicale.org/v3.html)

- todoman for cli tasks (https://github.com/pimutils/todoman)

- iOS reminders for mobile

Everything syncs, and because it’s standards based it’s portable if a little clunky.

There’s also Vikunja, but I didn’t like it as much when I tried it last year. https://vikunja.io/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 k…

Thank you for the visualization. I will test this out, maybe with magnet board. :)

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 tried using Linear before switching to Obsidian Kanban. I found Linear's UX and site structure to be overly complex for my personal needs. Despite following the onboarding process, I found myself clicking too many times to figure out where things are (I acknowledge that this may have been an issue on my side). As a result, I switched to Kanban because I was already using it to store documentation for my projects. For me, it meets the spec as a project management tool and is an improvement over a text-only kanban. I can definitely recommend it.
