24 alternatives to Open-source, offline Kanban board with "swim lanes"
I’ve been using Trello for a while and there were so many paper cuts over time that I decided to hack together a clean little kanban board for my needs as a weekend project. For my projects there are a lot of different hats I have to wear so that’s where “swim lanes” come in. Basically I have frontend/backend/marketing/support tasks and it was getting really polluted and hard to parse to have all these types of tasks together in a column. So this kanban board has swim lanes where all the cards of a category stay together. It’s open source, works offline and of course fully…

TL;DR: We built Kanbanq, a minimal task management app for indies and small teams. It keeps Trello’s simplicity but adds proper backlogs, sprints, real-time collaboration and public board sharing. Free while in alpha, feedback welcome --- I’ve been working on Kanbanq with a friend. It’s a minimal task management app we built after getting frustrated with Trello. It was great for simple boards, but it falls apart when you need backlogs (that are more than just a giant list) or want to work in sprints. Kanbanq keeps the same clean feel but adds backlog management (our unique feature), sprints,…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

Hi everyone! Trobo here, the creator of Kanri. This has been my main side/passion project for around a year now, so here's a bit of a back story: In the COVID-19 lockdown, I needed a new way to handle the big amount of tasks which were thrown at me in school, mostly coming in through emails so it was very difficult to keep track of them. That's where I discovered Trello and instantly fell in love with it. For the whole lockdown period, I used it extensively to organize my tasks, and it was great. Naturally as a programmer, I was drawn in to try making my own apps in the productivity…

Just wanted to share my latest project Taskstax, it's just a simple Kanban kind of trello clone, built mainly for the learns, but it works too so it's online. Simple Kanban boards, easy login that takes you straight to it. It uses socket.io for data xfer after login which was fun to setup and also makes it work well. Totally free, any feedback would be cool or if you wanted some info on the tech just ask.

Recently I was reading about fluid simulation and stumbled upon the Gauss Seidel method. I got interested in how it works and made a program that visualizes the method in action. I had the idea of making an interactive book-like thing for a while, so took this as a chance to do just that. Note that touch input doesn't work and the layout is targeted towards bigger screens, so it doesn't function properly on mobile. It was fun to make and I wanted to share it. Maybe someone will find it useful. Corrections and feedback are welcome. Technical Stuff - A single 1.7MB HTML file with embedded…
