Free, offline and cross-platform

I would honestly like to know what’s the point of these comments. This person offers a free, open-source and cross-platform offline app in the most cost-effective way as a single…
outime on HNWell I don't know about ridiculously cheap, but I do think it's reasonable. That's not the point. The point is that GP posted a free, offline first, cross-platform, good looking…

Browser localStorage is not reliable for persistent data
From 3 comments
This is great, but I'm wondering how reliable it is to use browser storage for persistence
jonfw on HNHazards are (1) user accidentally removing data they want when doing "clear browsing data", (2) Mobile Safari deleting data if you don't visit the site frequently enough and (3)…

Opening in two windows lets edits conflict; last edit wins
From 2 comments
I found that if you open it in 2 separate browser windows, you can edit both representations as independent documents, then after refresh the last edit wins. Is this intended…
viach on HNKind of unavoidable unless you're doing something magical with localStorage, and this looks like it's been made to be simple.

Not responsive on mobile
From 1 comment
I tried it in Firefox mobile, it looks good but sadly isn't responsive yet. I don't know if it's one of your goal. Keep it up.

Wants a native app rather than Electron or web

This is nice, but what I really want is a native kanban app. Not Electron, and not web - native.

Integration with GitLab or git-bug
From 2 comments
Nice. Will look whether I can implement a connection somehow to my GitLab issues/MRs.
leipert on HNThis could be great to integrate in git-bug[1] if/when kanban get supported. This would be the fronted and git-bug would be the storage/collaboration layer. [1]…

Save to file option

Could drop the JSON data as application/octet-stream and bind it to a save icon. Looks so neat :)

Etebase and Userbase for end-to-end encrypted sync

You could have a look at EteBase [1], which was recently featured on HN. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm looking to build my applications in a similiar style. [1]…
mjepronk on HNUserbase seems to be a similar solution https://userbase.com/

I did something similar, opting for the simplicity of the terminal and CLI with https://github.com/kitplummer/clikan - specifically for personal tracking.
