I’ve been looking for something to replace Trello, mostly for personal use between me and my partner. We both have our own boards as well as a couple shared ones we use for planning trips/etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kanban/trello-like software?

I’ve been using Obsidian w/ the obsidian-kanban plugin lately and it is alright, but obviously not as easy to share between two people and more limited compared to some of the features trello has.

Two options I’m trying out now:

  • Planka - seems like it might be alright, but haven’t used it enough yet. Trello import option is one-board-at-a-time.
  • Vikunja - extremely slow for some reason and the auto-save feature kept causing me to lose what I typed

    I have previously used WeKan, it is alright if you’re willing to have software that uses Mongo (oof) and Meteor (big oof) in your lab.

    I have heard good things about Focalboard (which is apparently part of/owned by Mattermost now!?), but haven’t used it myself. I will be giving it a go at some point probably, eventually.

      Thanks! I’ll add it to my list. I’m not already using mongo or meteor and would rather prefer something using mysql/postgres since I already have those.

      Focalboard does look interesting, I’m downloading the desktop app now to try it that way. I remember liking mattermost when it first started, but haven’t really used it much since then! The dual license of mattermost/focalboard is kinda weird, but I don’t think it’d affect me at all.
