An elegant solution, thanks for sharing!

For self-hosted personal Kanban board with persistent DB storage and potential shared access, I've had good experience with Kanboard, https://kanboard.org/ , I'm running on a DO droplet with Nginx (or Apache) & MySQL.

One can also access the board via an JSON RPC android app, GNU GPL 3.0. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/in.andres.kandroid/

Kanboard is distributed under MIT, needs a web-server, database and php. For DB: Sqlite, Mysql/Postgres, others.

Requirements here: https://docs.kanboard.org/en/latest/admin_guide/requirements...

If you want to run it on your local machine, a LAMP / LNMP / *nix, php & DB setup (or just use docker, one command install) is quite fast and convenient. Kanboard is not as elegantly minimalist as the parent-linked-project, but since there were requests for self-hosted Kanban solutions with persistent storage and possibly web-access, I decided to share my experience. Kanboard works well for me and mobile access has been handy.
