Nullboard VS yadm

Hello, HN! I'd like to introduce you to nbagent[0], an open-source alternative backup agent for Nullboard[1] for Unix systems. If you, like me, are a fan of Nullboard's simplicity and you've been looking for an easy way to have your data backed up, check it out.

I'd love to hear your feedback on nbagent. Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or questions below.

Surprisingly no one has mentioned nullboard (https://nullboard.io/preview) yet. Just a single file JSON to carry around the entire board.

Nullboard maybe?

minimalist kanban board, without fancy tagging/time tracking/... features. Every game has a column, and notes are player names. nullboard would be perfect if it wasn't local only;

Nullboard - cool simple project, no bug tracking

Nullboard - Kanban board with dark mode, localStorage, and thoughtful UI

I use and like https://nullboard.io/preview nullboard which runs in the browser. Because it uses local data, you need to save it or the data is lost when you close the browser window.

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

https://yadm.io/

I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.

Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.
