We believe that your team can achieve great things.
You don't need the world's most talented individuals, but you do need laser focus, deep collaboration and "user-centricity".
Zenboard is a team board that makes all of this easier. Read more here.
Zenboard is currently v0.4. There will be bugs. Archiving is not yet implemented.
Zenboard is lightweight - suitable for hosting on a free Heroku account. (If you want to host elsewhere check this guide).
-
You will need Git installed locally. You can download it here.
-
Clone the Zenboard repo
git clone https://github.com/mhumph/zenboard.git
cd zenboard
-
Make sure you've logged in to Heroku CLI and created the app
heroku login
heroku create
-
Provision JawsDB (MySQL):
heroku addons:create jawsdb -
Deploy Zenboard to Heroku:
git push heroku master -
Open Zenboard in a browser:
heroku open
Heroku's getting started guide for Node.js is here.
All you need is MySQL and a server supporting Node.js. In most cases:
- minimal server resources will be needed, as there will be relatively few requests per minute
- high availability / clustering / load balancing won't be needed
NOTE: If the app doesn't find the necessary MySQL tables, then it will automatically create them. The schema to contain them must already exist though - see config/db-config.js
If you like Zenboard please GitHub star it, thanks!
Zenboard uses Vue.js, Node.js and socket.io
This repo is just the API (created with Express Generator). To run it:
The Vue.js source is in a separate repo here.
DEBUG=zenboard:* npm start
A snapshot of the UI is bundled in this repo. You can access it at http://localhost:3001/
Here is one of the API endpoints http://localhost:3001/api/rows/deep

Board columns aren't a good fit for mobile. We have a very different design for mobile but that's a story for another day ;)
To develop auth/SaaS, Zenboard will need a contributor or sponsor.
Zenboard isn't planning specific features for task estimating or velocity reports.
