Hello,
I'd like to get your opinion on this project. It's still in beta and under heavy development. Some of the basic features like voting and checklists are missing, but they will be implemented by the end of February.
There are so many Kanban boards out there. Why create another?
They key advantage of Skadi is easy installation on your own server. You can literally do it in 10 seconds. It's a binary file with zero dependencies. It uses a built in web server and a LevelDB database. Even the static files are embedded in the binary, which allows easier updates.
So the primary audience is companies who would like to use Trello but can't store sensitive data on outside servers or simply prefer a self-hosted solution.
It also does some things better than Trello. For example, it is extremely light and fast and can handle a lot more cards without freezing. Search is always instant, unlike in Trello.
Of course, it supports JSON imports from Trello.
Thanks for your time.
- ff_ 11y agoNice project, I was looking for something similar to Trello but self-hosted, but there wasn't anything interesting out there :) By the way, the entire "sensitive data" argument is not valid, since you're distributing a compiled binary. Do you really trust compiled binaries for sensitive data? I won't until I'll be able to review the source code.
- medvednikov 11y agoGood point. I think I will do it the Atlassian way: companies who care about protecting their data will get the sources, just like with JIRA. They'll have to "go run" them themselves, but it's nothing like setting up JIRA.
