Kan.bn
The open source alternative to Trello for teams and makers
Kan.bn launched on September 16, 2025 with 149 votes, #218 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
What it does
Kan.bn brings back Trello’s simplicity in open source. Self-host, or hosted by us. Make organising work effortless.
A powerful, flexible kanban app that helps you organise work, track progress, and deliver results—all in one place. Simple, visual task management that just works. Drag and drop cards, collaborate with your team, and get more done. Organize and find cards quickly with powerful filtering tools. Holy crap I love this app. It's brutally minimal but somehow has everything I need. The interesting thing about signing into Kan for the first time is that it feels new and electrifying—and yet simultaneously quite familiar, especially if you’ve spent any time in Trello over the years. As someone who connected more with Trello’s original vision and mostly just tolerated the more recent pivots and…from kan.bn

Kanbanq : Open alpha2025 · kanbanq.app · ▲265TL;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,…

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
