- eyelidlessness 3y agoI like pretty things, but for Kanban the tool’s appearance is perfect IMO. If anything, I’d want it to be duller: I want to spend as little time looking at my task management as possible, and making it prettier only serves that purpose if it’s more usable as a result. But this is already perfectly usable. I think the landing page could use a little typography and spacing polish, but again it’s perfectly usable. It’s worlds better on my phone than ~99% of what I encounter where the lede includes “free and open source” or the target audience ≈ most of HN. The only thing I really could criticize (with the tool, as presented) is that it’s susceptible to the same problems every software kanban implementation eventually succumbs to: every Trello eventually becomes a Jira. IMO it’s already too featureful (and I know some other commenters disagree here), not too much to rule it out for me but the real risk is there’s a very clear path for feature creep that would degrade its appeal (to me).
- saratogacx 3y agoPlease no. The trending way to make this "Pretty" is to round all the corners, add tons of whitespace, remove text labels from buttons for bespoke iconography, hide half the features in a hamburger menu, and add a full height side gutter for 3 icons. No thanks, give me a tool that shows me content and options I can apply to it and forego the rest.
