If anyone is looking for another open source solution, there's https://github.com/greggigon/my-personal-kanban.

What's neat about the above one is it's a single offline html file that you open in your browser and everything is saved to local storage (but it has a JSON export / import feature for more robust backups).

Of course that means it's really only usable for 1 person, but if you're a solo developer, it's a breath of fresh air to just open a simple html file without needing to run a service to use it.

It's not the prettiest tool but it's very usable. I've been using it to manage a large personal side project. I made a video on that here: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/an-open-source-and-fully-offl...

In the same vein -

Oh, that's exactly what I was looking for. Most kanban software is centered around multiple users and all the cumbersome setup that comes with that assumption.

I like that a lot. It would be super nice if I could change the background of the items. That way I could color code things that really need to get taken care of NOW.

If you are looking for a personal Kanban application where you can colour the cards, please see: https://www.hyperplan.com

Thanks! I liked nullboard pretty minimal design and that the tasks can be one line or multiline. Most of the kanaban tools look like post it notes, and I liked that the tasks were mininimal size.

All I was missing is to be able to stick one of 4-8 colors on the background of the box.

I'll have some time to look at hyperplan, thanks for the pointer

-You can colour the background of the card according to any property of the card (e.g. its priority or the date due) -Cards can have any number of properties -You can store various 'views' (e.g. view 1 is x=status,y=person,colour=priority, view 2 is x=person,y=department,colour=due date)

So simple and elegant. I have adopted it. Thank you !

I think it is usable enough. Specially if you worry about privacy this is a good tool. A thing most people don't like about Trello is that it is not encrypted on the server side.

I really like this, and after reading about the guy who lost his personal trello to his former employer...I am motivated to try this.

Thank you for this. Not everyone needs to setup yet another service for simple project management.
