Decide on Task system (Kanban?) #15

Open jakappl opened 8 months ago

jakappl commented 8 months ago

Overview of existing tasks within the organisation and tracking of their progress, allowing for better communication between members. Must be integrated with current main communication platform, Slack. (from #14)

Recommendation: kanbanflow.com + hackish Slack integration

Motivation: I have looked into various alternatives, and very few tools with a decent Slack integration are free. The ones that are free either lack needed features or are really difficult to use.

The top contenders are: UX Slack int. Subtasks Kanban Limit WIP
Clickup :( ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
Kanbanflow :) ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
Workast :/ ✔️

Kanbanflow does have an api, but access is limited to paid customers. So we need to get a bit creative to integrate it with Slack. Notifications for tasks with due dates work out of the box, but I think the primary need is simply getting an overview of what tasks exist. So tight integration (as in CRUD) is not going to happen unless we get the paid version, but getting updates on all existing task is doable. I'll explain later :)

But, does it have dark mode?! Yes, it has the best of dark modes.

It has a mobile version (pwa), that I missed earlier because I only looked for appstore apps.
