Taiga VS Kanboard

I'll also check out plane.so and taiga.io. I have not checked those out.

My team at work uses taiga

taiga.io — Project management platform for startups and agile developers, free for Open Source

The folks being Penpot also make a kanban management tool, kind of like Trello, called Taiga: http://taiga.io/ And it's also OSS.

I'm rooting for both of these, and now that they have some funding I hope they'll dedicate effort on polishing the rough edges (and do something about gratuitous amount of white space that permeates all of their web presence, and maybe reconsider their color pallete). They're very close, so I think and hope we'll some wonderful results very soon.

Taiga - Storage limitation

taiga.io has been good in my experience

^ This installs docker first (not sure if needed, but I'm trying to figure out how to set up taiga.io on my k3s cluster and they seem to want docker?

This reminds me of Kanboard in how focused and simple it is: https://kanboard.org

That's a really good thing, you don't always need heavyweight solutions with bunches of features that love to eat a lot of RAM (and CPU), sometimes a simpler option is fully sufficient.

Especially because this one doesn't try to tackle complex problems like auth, if it's for personal use, you can just put basicauth (over TLS), mTLS, OIDC or whatever your heart desires in front of it.

I've been using the likes of PrimeVue (https://primevue.org/), PrimeReact (https://primereact.org/) and PrimeNG (https://primeng.org/) because they attempt to give you a library of components that work well out of the box and have a similar API across multiple technologies: Vue, React and Angular, respectively.

I feel like at some point I'll probably make a project with just jQuery and possibly jQuery UI for the sake of it, since what's there doesn't seem too flashy, but would probably work just fine for most we based CRUD needs. I might end up rediscovering up close why people moved to the above in droves instead of jQuery, but honestly something that you just drop in and that works has a lot of appeal. No complex toolchains, no configuring a bunch of plugins and registering them with the app, no endless abstractions for state management and things about render loops to keep in mind, just a silly JS import and writing some shlocky code that still sorta works.

I like to consider the UI of Kanboard as a good example. It's minimalist, but works great for what it is: https://kanboard.org/

Kanboard is an open-source project management tool focusing on Kanban methodology. Its simple interface and emphasis on task visualization make tracking project progress straightforward.

Pomatez or any Pomodoro timer for tricking yourself into doing work, my brain needs that sometimes: https://zidoro.github.io/pomatez/

Kanboard for a blazing fast Kanban board (easy to self host, uses little in the way of resources): https://kanboard.org/

Alternatively, for more serious project management there's also OpenProject (also includes time tracking and reports): https://www.openproject.org/

For someone that's not a web developer, I found Kanboard to be the easiest to set up, and it has all the basic features you'd expect. It's a traditional PHP app where you copy the files to your web server and set a few configuration options and you're good. If you want to use it locally, you download it, run php -S localhost:8080, and start using it.
