The amount of high quality Kanban / Trello-like options is low while the need for these is very high. At the same time getting started in building such a tool doesn't require a lot of resources. I think it's a good thing and I hope to see one that can replace my Notion Kanban soon.

What makes it high quality in your experience? (I’m doing customer research for my own kanban startup) /s

  Well, what makes such a product high quality is highly subjective :D But for me personally I'd love a Kanban product that can rival Notion's feature set and simplicity, can be used offline / is local-first, offers some custimzation options, does not force me into a subscription, works well on desktop (Windows) as well as on my phone (Android).

    It's possible to self-host WeKan kanban https://wekan.github.io https://wekan.github.io and use it like PWA https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA at Windows, Android, iOS etc, more info at https://wekan.team/app/ https://wekan.team/app/ , where is my app without Admin access at my server, but with with that PWA wiki page similar is possible. But WeKan does not rival Notion feature set. For that, maybe AFFiNE https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165373 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165373

For replacing Notion Kanban, maybe AFFiNE, that is mostly MIT license: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE But some part of server code license may need checking: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/blob/canary/packages/backend/server/LICENSE https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/blob/canary/packages/...

  Thanks for the suggestion, I love AFFiNE's approach, but for me it's just not there yet. I'm subscribed to their e-mail newsletter and check up on it from time to time, but for me personally it needs some more progress, e.g. a mobile version.
