An extendable Trello alternative... (alien.top)

Hi there all,

I'm aware that this sub has received its fair share of "looking for a Trello alternative" posts over the last few years. I'm about to add to the pile, but in particular, I'm looking for a solution that is customizable via plugins or similar.

Basically that means I want to add a custom field, take that input and do whatever I want with it, without having to leave the context of the application & write a whole other python script to interact with APIs and other unfun stuff.

Appreciate any answers I'd be given in this case, thanks in advance.

It's not *precisely* made to replace Trello, but Obsidian has a great Kanban plugin that behaves very similarly to trello. I combine it with the Tasks plugin to give each card/task more functionality. The Tasks plugin has a querying syntax which you could theoretically pipe into other API/scripting plugins. I can't say for certain "Adding this tag to a Kanban card can produce an API call" but I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible. I haven't looked that hard.

If you aren't aware of Obsidian, it's a plaintext/markdown-based notetaking app at its core, but with an extremely deep set of community plugins. The notes/boards can be synced via any local/remote cloud, or with their paid service.

Obsidian has been previously recommended to me for another use case - seems that it's a very jack-of-all-trades tool. Suppose I should actually give it a look then.

Sync was the primary barrier for me though, since that service is paid...

there are alternatives. If you use onedrive. chuck it on that. If you want more freedom there is a plugin to sync it with a git repo.

I remember seeing a plugin that allowed you to sync via a self hosted database. I would give it a google.

Just host your own markdown directory, the app’s free to use for local files
