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. Going to give this a try.
First impression: promising but seems a bit clunky/ugly compared to Trello. Hope I can contribute to the development in some way.
- recusive_story 7y agoGithub has a basic kanban board and since private repositories are free, it can be used as replacement to Trello.
- phillc73 7y agoGitlab also has kanban boards, which I really like. Sometimes I wish I could just use the kanban boards to manage tasks, without having all the associated software development tools in the UI. Or maybe, a better idea would be the ability to log in straight to the boards, without having to navigate via projects etc.
- ochrist 7y agoI have been using Kanboard for some time now, and can recommend it. There is - as far as I know it - not yet a native desktop client, but the web-interface works quite well: https://kanboard.org/ https://kanboard.org/ (not affiliated in any way - just a safisfied user)
- znpy 7y agoThat looks cool! Does it have APIs? Edit: yes it has! I'll be trying this tonight.
- bachmeier 7y agoIt's a php app. All you have to do to run it locally is use the php server: php -S localhost:8001 Open in your browser: localhost:8001/index.php You can also directly access the sqlite database if you want.
- midasz 6y agoAlso running this on a raspberry pi I have stuffed somewhere in a closet, it's genuinely great. Web interface even works decently on mobile (mostly use it for viewing and dragging not creating issues).
- adz_6891 7y agoWhile it is maintained by Atlassian, I found this react library really useful for making customized Trello boards for myself https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd Creating cards that made sense for my use case was fun... I was going to play with adding a card type that I could work on to create notes with my apple pencil, a bit like postit notes... Anyway, a silly side project for me I guess, but worth a look if you're heavily invested in Kanban format
- oatsbarley 7y agoI suppose this only affects you if you have a second account attached to your Trello boards, but there was a thread about Atlassian transferring ownership of personal boards to a company yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22873578 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22873578 It's a specific pitfall that -- for a lot of people -- can be easily avoided, but it doesn't speak to them being friendly towards individual users.
- Angostura 7y agoIf you're a Teams user, there's Microsoft Planner.
- mattbk1 7y agoThanks for this reminder. I wish I could view things in Gantt (rather than just calendar) format.

- hermitcrab 7y agoIf you want a desktop (Windows and Mac) Kanban application you might want to look at: https://www.hyperplan.com https://www.hyperplan.com It is commercial software. I am the author.

- raybb 6y agoIf you don't mind me asking, how do you organize your thinking/planning a cross boards/projects?
