1) Issues showed unicorn. Reloading page.

2) Issues showed Not found.

Anyway, GitHub Actions for building new release has progress. Good enough.

Apple products are not anymore more expensive than competition. Other prices like RAM, harddisks, etc prices have risen so much.

I had some affordable TV subscriptions, but after a while I did not find more good shows, or there was too many ads, so I canceled them. Anyway, usually it's enough I have watched some movie once.

With some subscription that I pay, I'm paying for some change, or some new experience, or that I can use some software or hardware for some time. If after paying nothing changes, there is no ROI.

I can not include anything GPL or AGPLv3 with my MIT license WeKan Open Source kanban, where I have added and removed over 4 million lines of code.

I have discontinued version of WeKan where was GPLv2 licensed Gantt Chart component, because it infected WeKan license to be GPLv2.

There has been some other kanban, that first changed from MIT to GPL, and then from GPL to some source-available license or propietary.

Thanks! I really like your new website and rebrand.

Some wishes:

1) First I was confused when I didn't find issues etc, but then I found your rebrand. Please remove your https://github.com/level09/readykit repo, and rename original https://github.com/level09/enferno repo to https://github.com/level09/readykit, so that you keep all issues, PRs, and releases. It also will redirect old enferno url to correct new readykit url.

2) Please make automatic immediate forward from URL https://enferno.io to https://readykit.dev .

3) It would be nice if your website had button for dark mode, so you could switch between light mode and dark mode. Your new website is light, and your previos website is dark.

Thanks!

M1 Air or M2 Air, running Asahi Linux. I am posting this using my M1 Air, running Fedora Asahi.

I use Fairphone 4 with Ubuntu Touch.

WeKan https://wekan.github.io is translated to many languages here:

https://app.transifex.com/wekan/wekan

Spanish is currently 100% translated.

Re:Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @10:04AM (#44170317)
Here is answer for WeKan https://wekan.github.io

Order is stored to sort field as number. When changing order with JQuery Draggable/Droppable/Sortable, it saves new order to browserside MiniMongo, that is made with Javascript, and then to serverside MongoDB. It is possible use mouse or touchscreen to drag drop reorder board icons at All Boards page, swimlanes, lists, cards and checklists. There are also roles at right sidebar avatar icons popup settings, so BoardAdmin can drag drop everything, and there are some limits for other roles, like Normal, CommentOnly etc https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165257

For realtime updates, Meteor web framework reads realtime changes from MongoDB OpLog (operations log), and with Publish/Subscribe at realtime updates all changes immediately for all users, like what card moved, etc.

There is in progress of adding support for other databases, like SQLite etc.

WeKan https://wekan.github has email notifications, and notification tray like Trello. You get notifications like becoming assignee by changing board top setting from Muted to Tracking, and also there is red bell icon at right top notification tray like Trello. Currently I mostly use AWS SES.

> Wekan, which does run admirably well on Sandstorm, pulls an entire Mongodb instance into each grain.

There is only MongoDB raw database files at each WeKan grain, similar to SQLite. MongoDB 3 server version is same for every grain.

In progress is adding SQLite support to WeKan.

Using Caddy 2 at front, I host Sandstorm, many WeKan Snap and RocketChat at same server. Sandstorm has many websites, etc software in use. At Sandstorm, only those grains are running and use RAM where is logged in user, this is much more efficient that Docker or Snap where container is running all the time.

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Sandstorm

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Caddy-Webserver-Config

There is also development towards next version of Sandstorm, that is Tempest:

WeKan works at iOS, it's mentioned at that page, I'll try to update that page to be more clear.

WeKan is fully compatible with iOS webbrowsers, touch, drag drop etc.

For free WeKan server, at iPhone or iPad make WeKan app icon like this: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA from free server hosted by me (no admin access) from address https://boards.wekan.team/sign-in or from your own hosted server https://wekan.example.com/sign-in . From that icon, WeKan starts fullscreen, at iPhone in mobile board view, and at iPad desktop browser view, working exactly like app.

There is not yet separate app at App Store, because figuring out releasing to App Store takes some time.

For AI with kanban, there is JustDo, but it's source available. It is not Open Source.

Re:Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello on Monday June 02, 2025 @09:41PM (#44165388)
It's possible to self-host WeKan kanban https://wekan.github.io and use it like PWA https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA at Windows, Android, iOS etc, more info at https://wekan.team/app/ , where is my app without Admin access at my server, but with with that PWA wiki page similar is possible.

But WeKan does not rival Notion feature set. For that, maybe AFFiNE https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44165373

Re:Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello on Monday June 02, 2025 @09:38PM (#44165373)
For replacing Notion Kanban, maybe AFFiNE, that is mostly MIT license:

https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE

But some part of server code license may need checking:

Moving issues between some of those is possible:

Gitea has some one-time imports, but maybe not yet full mirroring of everything, I have not checked latest status.

Maybe Kanboard that has SQLite support, packaged with FrankenPHP ? https://frankenphp.dev

WeKan https://wekan.github.io has markdown and GitHub emoji support https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Emoji at board titles, swimlane titles, cards, card descriptions, checklists, comments, etc. Card comments also have user reactions like thumbsup, etc.
