The folks behind Penpot also make a kanban management tool, kind of like Trello, called Taiga: http://taiga.io/ http://taiga.io/ It's also OSS (Django/Angular), self-hostable, and very pleasant to use.
I'm rooting for both of these, and now that they have some funding I hope they'll dedicate effort on polishing the rough edges (and do something about the gratuitous amount of white space that permeates all of their web presence, and maybe reconsider their color palette to be less muted and more saturated, heavier, and decisive). They seem to be actively working on Figma imports, auto layouts, multi-user edits and more at this moment so they're on the right track.
For both of them, even if the VCs pull the rug from underneath to race for an exit, it being OSS is good insurance. A fork would mean that we don't have to spend time learning yet another tool. The good will fostered by it being OSS is what encourages some of us to look into their offerings, and in this way what we see is something that seems like a sustainable model for OSS projects.
- debacle 4y agoWe just switched to Taiga for our task management platform. It's enjoyable to use, opinionated but just a little, and works great out of the box. As an aside, does anyone know what software this page is running: https://community.penpot.app/ https://community.penpot.app/ It looks like a taiga plugin but I don't know what it's called.
- pen2l 4y agoIt's running Discourse forums, a YC-funded thing, also OSS, authored with Ruby on Rails. I find it fascinating that people are praising their skin of Discourse, because I think it's got a little too much white space! With those needlessly huge button-banners, for folks with small-to-medium sized screens, the content of interest is almost a full screenful-scroll away.
- rapnie 4y agoI agree. I use many different Discourse forums, and this one annoying to scroll through the list of latest topics because of that.
- gizzlon 4y agoThanks, open source AND it has WIP limits =)
- lawgimenez 4y agoWow Taiga is still around!
- diacritica 4y agoYeah! And it's going to be better than ever, you can learn more on one of my latest live streams! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ss02yBM2s8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ss02yBM2s8
- lawgimenez 4y agoCool thanks for sharing. I remember, please correct me if I'm wrong, you were a Kanban tool that offers self-hosting right? I can't remember we were using Taiga around ~6-7 years ago.
- diacritica 4y agoWe offer KANBAN and Scrum and Issue management plus WIKI and EPICs, yes. And it's MPL 2.0 and you can self-host it, yep! 6-7 years ago! wow! Yeah, we've come a LONG way. Taiga6 is amazing but TaigaNext (codename) is just a totally different story and it will connect to Penpot!
