GithubPersonal Kanban for Obsidian
I wanted to have my own personal Kanban because Trello, Jira, Monday, and those kinds of tools are either expensive or overkill. I just wanted something simple for my personal projects without the need to go on the web, log in, deal with loading screens, or get a bunch of spam emails. This is just for simple stuff. If you need a straightforward, local, and fast Kanban board right inside your notes, this is for you.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Built with "Vibe Coding"
!!! Be ware: This plugin was made heavily relying on AI (Vibe Coding). Why? I have 7+ years of experience with web development, but right now I'm focusing my personal time on game dev projects. I was not gonna learn how to code an Obsidian plugin from the ground up just for a personal tool. I wanted something quick.
I don't know if it's 100% reliable yet, which is why I'm keeping it in an Alpha version. I plan to properly review the code and do a heavy refactor later when I have more time. However, this is not a project that AI gave me in a single prompt; I spent time debugging, fixing DOM event bubbling, adjusting CSS for a Trello-like feel, and giving strict architectural direction. Use it, enjoy it, but know it's a work in progress.
