      Perhaps somebody has tried using all of these and would like to benefit us from their experience?

      They are all available for one-click deployment on Cloudron. They are about as popular as each other it seems.

      Does one of these stand out as the best designed or have the most promise behind it?

        I would also add GitLab to the list. GitLab has kanban board, issue tracker etc these days.

          WeKan and Nextcloud Deck too (both kanban boards)

          I was using WeKan, but these days I just use Nextcloud Deck. Does the job, integrates nicely with the rest of Nextcloud, and has a nice mobile app too.

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            Vikunja could be used as well

              @fbartels vikunja is very unstable for me, constantly going into 'not responding' status. I'm about to migrate off it.
              Reason for saying that is responding to OP question, (for me) it doesn't perform well enough compared to the others.
              Very interested to hear any comparisons.
              Currently using OpenProject but not assessed the other tools.

                @timconsidine no troubles with Vikunja on my end. Have been using it already for quite some time. Especially since its a pwa frontend performance and mobile usage is very good in my opinion.

                Maybe worthwhile exploring why the app goes into not responding state/what makes it fail the Cloudron healtcheck.

                  @timconsidine OpenProject does look very pretty. I think that is important, if you are going to be using it often, as would likely be the case for monitoring a project.

                  For me, I think Gantt Charts are a key tool in any Project Management software, and OpenProject supports those.

                  At the moment, had I to pick between all of these I would go with OpenProject.

                    Worth adding EspoCRM to that list, we use it for almost everything.

                          I am the person who has tried all project management and kanban tools in Cloudron for at least a few weeks. Me an my project manager had to pick one for the team. I may sound too opinionated but Taiga is the best PM tool out there. Blazing fast, lots of features and stable, while being simple for beginners to get used to. Nothing else compares. We recently moved to Jira feom Taiga and miss the simplicity and speed. Feature-wise Taiga is no less than Jira.

                                  @nj JIRA? When you have GitLab as an option here too? I remember being so happy migrating away from JIRA after years of random issue with it just staying up.

                                    Why we moved?
                                    Because the PM was used to Jira, and insisted we needed mobile apps and real-time push notification for task updates! Nobody likes Jira and push notifications. We regret switching, but it's now too hard to switch back to Taiga.

                                    Why not OpenProject?
                                    Because of their pricing which is in fact cheaper than Jira now, but you know.. everyone is now on Jira. 🤷

                                    Why not Gitlab?
                                    Because we use Gitea. Gitlab randomly crashed and needed too much memory to run. Also we failed to migrate hundreds of repos from Gitea to Gitlab, so there's no point of using Gitlab only for project management.

                                        Why we moved?
                                        Because the PM was used to Jira, and insisted we needed mobile apps and real-time push notification for task updates! Nobody likes Jira and push notifications. We regret switching, but it's now too hard to switch back to Taiga.

                                        Why not OpenProject?
                                        Because of their pricing which is in fact cheaper than Jira now, but you know.. everyone is now on Jira. 🤷

                                        Why not Gitlab?
                                        Because we use Gitea. Gitlab randomly crashed and needed too much memory to run. Also we failed to migrate hundreds of repos from Gitea to Gitlab, so there's no point of using Gitlab only for project management.

                                        @nj Fair enough, we've been slowly moving from GitLab to Gitea + Drone. I hear you on push notifications & mobile apps, we live without them, happily 🙂

                                        Funny how so many of these apps rely on that one noisy person that insists that their app is best, and it being easier to burn a business than migrate tools. Data and process lock-in is my nemesis. 🤠

                                          @marcusquinn Applications ought to be designed to protect the user's attention. Most social-media appliactions do quite the reverse. Perhaps this is the case with Project Management tools, too.

                                            @LoudLemur They often end up becoming more entertainment tools for management, because those are the internal influencers charged with squeezing as much as possible the doers.

                                            One day I'll write agile project management. I've build the essence of it into EspoCRM in every area, and it works amazingly well for almost zero staff training. Simplicity take extreme determination though, as people naturally feel complexity justifies ongoing work.

                                            You hit the nail on the head though, the vast majority of project management is removing distractions, and stopping people from distracting themselves with the unnecessary. I see the most brilliant people can become the worst at it too.
