Show HN: Offline-First Personal Kanban

Nice! This is actually exactly what Portabella (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;portabella.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;portabella.io</a>) started out as around 7 months ago.<p>I found that LocalStorage isn&#x27;t reliable enough to keep all your important stuff, so my thought was to encrypt everything client side and store in LocalStorage + a database. On session startup you just check the lastEdited date of the LocalStorage version vs. the database version and take the data with the latest.<p>That way it&#x27;s still offline first but you can also access your data on different machines.<p>Not trying to plug Portabella too much but I followed this logic and thought, how can I now allow people to share data? What if I give them different views? How about notifications? Pretty quickly I had fleshed out a full product.

I found that if you open it in 2 separate browser windows, you can edit both representations as independent documents, then after refresh the last edit wins. Is this intended behavior?

This looks like something I&#x27;ve wanted for a while: &quot;like Trello, but offline&quot;.<p>Localstorage has its drawbacks, but wrap it in Electron and you&#x27;ve got an app :)

This is great, but I&#x27;m wondering how reliable it is to use browser storage for persistence

I&#x27;ve been using your tool since you posted it here. So far I like it, its simplicity really kind of opened my brain to using it, if that makes sense. I&#x27;ve been finding it really nice to be limited to just &quot;content in, content out&quot;.<p>A couple notes: I find the title length a little limiting. I want to be able to see my tasks at a glance.<p>The cards are at full size no matter the description length. I often don&#x27;t have a description and it&#x27;s just empty space. I&#x27;d find it more useful if the cards adapted better to the content the user chooses to put in them.<p>Thanks for the tool! Goodluck in the future!

I’ve made one for myself as well, built as a Chrome extension loaded locally. This way no domain is needed and I did not have to worry about security.<p>It worked well for a while when I was multitasking a lot. My manager was very happy with me taking care of things without missing any details.<p>The problem is that Kanban makes more sense for a team than an individual. If nobody else is using it, it has few advantages compared to simpler solutions, like post-it notes. So I stopped using it eventually.

This could be great to integrate in git-bug[1] if&#x2F;when kanban get supported. This would be the fronted and git-bug would be the storage&#x2F;collaboration layer.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MichaelMure&#x2F;git-bug&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;MichaelMure&#x2F;git-bug&#x2F;</a>

What I use personally:<p>URL: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trello-clone-nextjs.herokuapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trello-clone-nextjs.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a><p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;amir734jj&#x2F;trello-clone-nextjs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;amir734jj&#x2F;trello-clone-nextjs</a>

Looks really amazing. Simple to use. Fast. Clean. Beautiful.<p>I just think the storage should be something less volatile than LocalStorage. Maybe the application could provide other options as SQLite or JSON, keeping LocalStorage to people that doesn&#x27;t need or do not want setup a server.

I did something similar, opting for the simplicity of the terminal and CLI with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kitplummer&#x2F;clikan" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kitplummer&#x2F;clikan</a> - specifically for personal tracking.

I think the OP used machine translation for the language names, hence rendering Japanese into 日本人 (Japanese people) instead of 日本語 (Japanese language) ...

I tried it in Firefox mobile, it looks good but sadly isn&#x27;t responsive yet. I don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s one of your goal. Keep it up.

The correct translation for German Language is &quot;Deutsch&quot; instead of &quot;Deutsche&quot;

This is nice, but what I really want is a native kanban app. Not Electron, and not web - native.

Nice. Will look whether I can implement a connection somehow to my GitLab issues&#x2F;MRs.

A personal Kanban which needs a cloud backend! E.g. Jupyter Notebook -&gt; Google Colab

Really nicely done
