This is mine. It is something I wrote for my own use after looking at all existing options and finding them not to my liking. This is pretty much a weekend hack, it is from 2019 and it's still close to what I need. When I have time I plan to improve keyboard support, add color tags and archiving of completed items. It will also be redone to not use localStorage and to support a remote storage option. Shared use (with 2+ instances working with the same copy of the data) is also something that I'd like to do, but that's on a back burner.

Although it's tough to use "raw" git from a browser (it is possible, but probably out of scope to include an entire Javascript git client), it would be neat if you could use the git(hub/lab/etc) API as a remote storage option. It would allow for rolling back pretty easily. I'm thinking each board could be it's own directory, and each item could be a .md file. The naming scheme could probably be related to the position of each board's index. Ie: gitrepo/0/0.md could be the first item of the first board.

  Please check out logseq.com (used GitHub as back-end with js doing commits from local storage, etc).

    I'm desperately looking for documentation on LogSeq. F.i. simply how to embed source code written in PowerShell?

      The basics of using it are here - https://logseq.github.io/#/page/getting%20started https://logseq.github.io/#/page/getting%20started With respect to embedding source code - you can wrap it in "pre" and "code" tags, I believe. But are you referring to executing a source block as you might in org-mode? You can also jam whatever custom CSS you want into the https://logseq.com/#/file/logseq%2Fcustom.css https://logseq.com/#/file/logseq%2Fcustom.css file to render code the way you would like. The Discord channel is also extremely active and the dev team is on there all the time. I am old so I find this all very confusing but they have definitely helped me out several times - https://discord.gg/KpN4eHY https://discord.gg/KpN4eHY I am a pretty basic user of this, but if there is anything else you want to know, please ask.

Maybe I'll take a shot at a very simple backend, I've not been able to find a kanban which is simple enough for me.

Thanks, perfect for what I need (offline, single user, simple to use).

Superb! wish you had keyboard shortcut to delete items..

For shared use and remote storage, I'd consider using CRDTs like yjs [1] for instance. Should be pretty easy, local-first, and allow synchronous as well as asynchronous collaboration and syncing. Even p2p over LAN, webrtc or whatever (I'm unsure how to do local peer discovery in a web browser, on the desktop you'd simply use link-local multicast/avahi (DNS-SD)).

This is very cool, I've been looking for a simple Kanban board. Particularly I don't want comments in the kanban application. What I want is too keep conversations as threads in another service, and from that service reference tasks on a task board as well as other things like issues on github etc. I love the style as well.

What does it mean to do something in "one HTML"?

  Other than the font and jQuery, there's only 1 useful file in the repo. The HTML file.

I apologize in advance for a low quality response. I just want to be able to return to it easily. Love it. I love the minimalism. It just fits my use case so well. I just tried it and it just works with no fuss.

  FYI there is a "favorite" button on submissions and on comments if you click the timestamp.

    Oh good grief, how on earth did I miss it:> Thank you.

Have you considered a self-editing file approach a la Tiddlywiki Classic, in lieu of browser storage?

Is it possible to add colors or themes?

It’s cool. I tried reading the code but man, the HTML file is over 2k lines since everything is inline. I understand your motivation to implement this without build tools and frameworks but you could have used at least stylesheets and put JS into separate files. Or even use ES modules to split functionality into modules. All of these are native to modern browsers and do not need any build tools.
