I have been so uneasy using Atlassian's Trello for quite a while now, and it's frustrating to be unable to find a good alternative that doesn't require self-hosting, that is as customisable and sleek, offers link previews, and is available for both Android and Linux (which Atlassian never bothered to develop a desktop application for anyway afaik). If you know of such a task list board manager, feel free to make me aware of it! #Trello #alternative #AskMastodon #AskFedi #TaskManagement #kanban #enshittification @mayintoronto https://beige.party/@mayintoronto/116426064893316017

    On an initial free trial I've tried Vikunja - which seems like a great initiative but sadly cannot login to the cloud option on desktop and cannot move card orders on mobile. But seems very promising! Was going to try a sideways move with Stacks (not FOSS) but there isn't even a mobile app. This is going to be a tough one!

  • @MediaActivist @mayintoronto@beige.party The only alt I can think of is Cryptpad's take on kanban boards, but Cryptpad is notoriously awful on phones- as in, not mobile friendly AT ALL.

    @MediaActivist @mayintoronto What do you mean by sleek? I need help understanding the technological preferences of normies. Not that I'd assume that you're a normie, but I tend to gravitate away from sleek--I think. I'm assuming for now that sleek is different from slick. I tend to be turned off by anything (tech or otherwise) that has what I think of as slick, professional production values. Inevitably it means a big budget project, and if a tech project, monetized to the hilt. If a publication or something, I expect slick, professional looking publications to represent a "pro-business" attitude. For that reason my preferred web style is raw unstyled HTML.

    @MediaActivist @mayintoronto cryptpad has a kanban board, but not sure if it is as flexible as you need

    @MediaActivist We've been using Nextcloud Deck (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/deck) for kanbans in @RadicalRoutes recently, and that seems to work moderately well. I just checked the open managed nextcloud instances I'm on ( @autonomic's cooperative.computer and thegood.cloud) and neither of them seem to have that app enabled by default, but I expect it could be enabled easily enough.
