Kanban

A minimalistic kanban board with swimlanes, drag-and-drop, and localStorage persistence. No accounts, no database, no tracking.

Features

• Columns and swimlanes (both draggable)
• Draggable, reorderable cards
• Cards have title, subtitle, and notes with clickable hyperlinks
• All data lives in localStorage — no server, no cookies
• Export / Import JSON backups (so you don't lose data if the browser clears storage)

Requirements

• Node.js (comes with npm)

Running locally

Pick whichever launcher matches your OS. Each one installs dependencies on first run, then starts the dev server at http://127.0.0.1:8765.

OS	Command
Linux	./launch.sh
macOS	./launch.sh
Windows	double-click launch.bat
Any	python3 launch.py

Or manually:

npm install
npm run dev

Hosting it as a web app

Build the static bundle:

npm run build

This produces a dist/ folder. Upload it anywhere that serves static files:

• GitHub Pages — push dist/ to a gh-pages branch
• Netlify / Vercel / Cloudflare Pages — drop the repo in, set build command to npm run build and publish directory to dist
• Any web server (nginx, Apache, S3) — serve the files directly

Because all data lives in each visitor's browser, there's nothing to configure and nothing to pay for.

Your data

• Everything is saved to localStorage under the key kanban_v1.
• Clearing browsing history in some browsers also clears localStorage. Use the Export button to save a JSON backup, and Import to restore it.
• Don't use private/incognito mode if you want data to persist — it gets wiped when the window closes.

Stack

• Vite + React + TypeScript
• dnd-kit for drag and drop
