Side note: Anyone looking for an open source (not source available) Kanban tool:

- Kan (AGPL): https://github.com/kanbn/kan (my own project)

- WeKan (MIT): https://github.com/wekan/wekan

- Taiga (AGPL): https://github.com/taigaio/

This has been patched - thanks for flagging!

This is a cool idea - I've added it to the roadmap!

I'm so glad it's getting some recognition!

Thank you! Planka is a great project, but I found the fact it closely clones Trello's UI to be its biggest downfall. I'm hoping to build on top of Trello's simplicity and customisability with a modern UI/UX interface.

Thanks for the support and for flagging - I've not seen that behaviour before, but I'll raise a ticket to investigate!

Brunei! I prefer Banana Republic though...

I would only consider adding LLMs if they could solve a real problem for users in a unique way that couldn't be easily achieved by automation rules. I'm definitely not against it, but I would have to see a real use case first. MCP support for the API would be a good starting point!

Linear is great, but it's not the same as Trello and it's not open source

This is really great to hear, thank you for the feedback :)

You can indeed! There's also plans to allow custom restrictions on resources if wanted to limit cards to one assignee

Thank you! Added multi language support to the roadmap

The plan currently is to keep cloud and self-hosted exactly the same in terms of features. I'd only consider open-core if I can't find a reliable alternative source of income to support the development of the project :)

You're right - I thought I had posted it to show HN but obviously not...

Cheers! Kanboard is a great project, but I found the UI/UX a bit lacking (just personal preference)

I wasn't even aware you could do that in Trello! I've added WIP limits to the roadmap

Cheers! Yes, I plan to make it as easy as possible to self-host so Coolify and Dokploy apps are on the roadmap

Great spot, thank you! Fixed :)

Thanks for the feedback - this is a great shout! I've added to the roadmap :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Kanban reimagined to focus on speed, simplicity, and user experience - all while being open source.

I haven’t had a chance to set up a demo account yet (just added it to the roadmap), but you’re welcome to sign up and try it out in the meantime :)

Hey HN,

I couldn’t find an open-source alternative to Trello that I liked so I built my own.

It’s fast, free and fully-customisable. You can self host it, or use the cloud version if you don’t want to manage your own infra.

Repo -> https://github.com/kanbn/kan

Cloud -> https://kan.bn

Roadmap -> https://kan.bn/kan/roadmap

I’d love feedback, bug reports, or any feature suggestions!
