Apple products are not anymore more expensive than competition. Other prices like RAM, harddisks, etc prices have risen so much.

I had some affordable TV subscriptions, but after a while I did not find more good shows, or there was too many ads, so I canceled them. Anyway, usually it's enough I have watched some movie once.

With some subscription that I pay, I'm paying for some change, or some new experience, or that I can use some software or hardware for some time. If after paying nothing changes, there is no ROI.

I can not include anything GPL or AGPLv3 with my MIT license WeKan Open Source kanban, where I have added and removed over 4 million lines of code.

I have discontinued version of WeKan where was GPLv2 licensed Gantt Chart component, because it infected WeKan license to be GPLv2.

There has been some other kanban, that first changed from MIT to GPL, and then from GPL to some source-available license or propietary.

Thanks! I really like your new website and rebrand.

Some wishes:

1) First I was confused when I didn't find issues etc, but then I found your rebrand. Please remove your https://github.com/level09/readykit repo, and rename original https://github.com/level09/enferno repo to https://github.com/level09/readykit, so that you keep all issues, PRs, and releases. It also will redirect old enferno url to correct new readykit url.

2) Please make automatic immediate forward from URL https://enferno.io to https://readykit.dev .

3) It would be nice if your website had button for dark mode, so you could switch between light mode and dark mode. Your new website is light, and your previos website is dark.

Thanks!

What Linux computer can you buy with the battery life, quietness, lack of heat and speed of a modern ARM based Mac?

M1 Air or M2 Air, running Asahi Linux. I am posting this using my M1 Air, running Fedora Asahi.

As far as phones - your alternative is to buy an Android phone with an operating system by an ad company that is also pushing AI just as hard.

I use Fairphone 4 with Ubuntu Touch.

Here is answer for WeKan https://wekan.github.io

Order is stored to sort field as number. When changing order with JQuery Draggable/Droppable/Sortable, it saves new order to browserside MiniMongo, that is made with Javascript, and then to serverside MongoDB. It is possible use mouse or touchscreen to drag drop reorder board icons at All Boards page, swimlanes, lists, cards and checklists. There are also roles at right sidebar avatar icons popup settings, so BoardAdmin can drag drop everything, and there are some limits for other roles, like Normal, CommentOnly etc https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165257

For realtime updates, Meteor web framework reads realtime changes from MongoDB OpLog (operations log), and with Publish/Subscribe at realtime updates all changes immediately for all users, like what card moved, etc.

There is in progress of adding support for other databases, like SQLite etc.

Wekan, which does run admirably well on Sandstorm, pulls an entire Mongodb instance into each grain.

There is only MongoDB raw database files at each WeKan grain, similar to SQLite. MongoDB 3 server version is same for every grain.

In progress is adding SQLite support to WeKan.

Using Caddy 2 at front, I host Sandstorm, many WeKan Snap and RocketChat at same server. Sandstorm has many websites, etc software in use. At Sandstorm, only those grains are running and use RAM where is logged in user, this is much more efficient that Docker or Snap where container is running all the time.

There is also development towards next version of Sandstorm, that is Tempest:

WeKan works at iOS, it's mentioned at that page, I'll try to update that page to be more clear.

WeKan is fully compatible with iOS webbrowsers, touch, drag drop etc.

For free WeKan server, at iPhone or iPad make WeKan app icon like this: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA from free server hosted by me (no admin access) from address https://boards.wekan.team/sign-in or from your own hosted server https://wekan.example.com/sign-in . From that icon, WeKan starts fullscreen, at iPhone in mobile board view, and at iPad desktop browser view, working exactly like app.

There is not yet separate app at App Store, because figuring out releasing to App Store takes some time.

a) Nextcloud

b) AFFiNE https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE but check some part of server license, what is allowed: https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/blob/canary/packages/...

c) Frappe:

https://frappe.io/erpnext

https://frappe.io/framework

d) Odoo https://www.odoo.com

e) Sandstorm https://sandstorm.org , although WeKan is old version, I try to update it sometime

f) WeKan with webhooks https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165008 with RocketChat Community Edition https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/RocketChat with Jypyter: https://jupyter.org
