LF Kanban recommendations/experiences? (non-wekan)

[humpty]

Wekan's UI now is absolute sh1t. Time for a replacement. Ease of use and fluidity are the only requirements! TIA!

Edit: Tim brought up a good point that I didn't think about. Add BROWSER based to the requirement list

Hello @humptydumpty
Have you tried @vikunja ?

[joseph]

Vikunja recently hit 1.0 even.

@humptydumpty I agree - wekan is yuk.

Does it have to be an alternative in the browser ?
On iOS, I am increasingly using "Truly Simple Kanban" app, and not missing the big screen.

@joseph @james I tried Vikunja a long time ago back when it was buggy every other update. I'll give it another look. Thanks!

I'm using it to track my job statuses so I'm on a PC all day. It would slow me down to pick up my phone constantly.

I looked over the Kanban plugin for Freescout since I use that for work email and I'd be able to link conversations to cards which is awesome, but based on past experiences with FS plugins, they're.... half-baked at best. This would be my last resort.

@timconsidine I installed Vikunja and I'm trying to figure out how to import my shtuff from Wekan and stumbled on this gem: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kuna/id6751142174

If I'm not mistaken, it should sync with our self-hosted Vikunja app. Will provide an update once I sort it all out.

[humpty]

The "Kuna" app syncs fine with my Vikunja app. I signed in via API which has limitations outlined on the login page in the mobile app. I couldn't add a label to a card which might be related to it. I'll test the user/pass login method later. I haven't finished migrating my data yet, but so far so good. +1 Vikunja. Thanks guys!

I've eyed both

https://github.com/kanbn/kan

and

https://planka.app/community#strategy

as being potentially friendly to Cloudron packaging. kan.bn in particular just wants a Postgres database, which Cloudron happily provides.

I love the kanban that Vikunja offers. LOVE IT. I've tried most of the others, too. I linked to a post of how I was using it awhile back. I'm still using it the same way, just even more streamlined and nice looking. I like that I can enter notes about what I've done with a given domain, server, project, etc., and ALL THE INFO I need is all right there.

[humpty]

@scooke I’m coming to the same conclusion! It’s come a long way since I’ve last tried it. I haven’t had the chance to complete my migration from Wekan yet. I have too many boards with rules set up and will need to rebuild it all manually. The Kuna app on iOS is the cherry on top.

[humpty]

@scooke so one feature that's missing is "rules/automation" for instance where you could add/remove a label if the card is moved across the board. Do you have any experience/hacks/workarounds with this in Vikunja?

P.S. Apologies for the "Wekan" terminology - they don't translate well to Vikunja!

@humptydumpty FYI https://github.com/wekan/wekan/commit/1b8b8d2eef5b56654026597ae445f3f20ad886b2

[humpty]

@jdaviescoates Oh, I know. But, I don't want to deal with Xet7 ever again.

@humptydumpty Googling this didn't return any definite answers other than this post and that generic AI response which suggests using N8N and webhooks to monitor such changes and then apply different labels. https://community.vikunja.io/t/auto-tagging-for-projects/1933
