Kanban App for the terminal written in rust

This kanban app will allow the user to be more productive by prioritizing tasks and achieving goals faster

Why?

I am new to rust and wanted to learn the language in a project-oriented manner, feel free to drop feedback on my code😁. Another reason for building a TUI is that I spend the majority of my time in the terminal whether it is testing or running code or writing code in neovim. I haven't been able to find any other alternatives so I have started to make my own!

Contribution

Feel free to make a pull request or make a new issue, I am open to suggestions ✌️

I currently do not own a Mac so I am unable to test the app on Mac, if you can test it on Mac, please let me know if there are any issues.

TODO

• [ ] BYODB - Bring your own DB (As I am not able to keep the free supabase db online at all times, an option for multiple database backends that can be configured)
• [ ] Create a vs code extension, for adding quick notes and tasks, with / commands for specific boards cards or types etc (think more about this in future)
• [ ] Create a parallel web ui for the app that can be hosted from the app itself with a startup flag (e.g. --web-ui --port 8080)
• [ ] Optimize logger to handle high volumes of logs (app becomes sluggish when there are a lot of logs)
• [ ] Make configuration for integer values more user-friendly (e.g. when changing the number of columns in the kanban board)
• [ ] Implement animations for UI elements
• [ ] Implement a way to sync with other services like notion
• [ ] Write Tests
• [ ] Add a Tutorial for new users (Preferably in the app itself with animations and highlighting of UI elements)
• [ ] (Chore) Add documentation to functions and useful comments
• [ ] (Chore) Refactor convoluted functions with many nested statements

PSA (i.e. Public service announcement)

• Cloud saves are now encrypted. Please keep your generated key safe. It is usually located in "config/rust_kanban/kanban_encryption_key" after signing up. If you lose your key, you will not be able to access your data (I Cannot see your data nor edit it/decrypt it). If you have lost your key, you will have to delete your data and generate a new key using the -g flag.
• You can also provide an alternate key with the --encryption-key flag when starting the app. This will allow you to store your key in a password manager or a file that is not on disk.
• linux example : rust-kanban --encryption-key $(cat ~/.config/rust_kanban/kanban_encryption_key)
