Build Your Own Trello, Fire The Monthly Bill
what is this?
Kanba is a clean, simple, no-bullshit tool for managing tasks.
It’s like Trello, but:
- You own it
- You run it
- It doesn’t ask for money every month
Perfect for solo makers, tiny teams, or anyone who hears the word “Jira” and starts twitching.
what can it do?
Drag tasks around (yup, just like Trello)- Create boards, add team members
- Sort your chaos in kanban columns
- Switch between light/dark mode without therapy
- Works on your phone too
- Uses Supabase for login & storage
- MIT license = do whatever you want with it
- No signup walls, no SaaS guilt
how to install it?
Step 1: Get the thing
Download it here:

Step 2: Run it locally
-
Copy the example settings:
cp .env.example .env.local
(add your Supabase keys inside) -
Install & launch:
npm install
npm run dev -
Open your browser:
http://localhost:3000
Step 3: Brag about it on your resume
what’s inside?
Tech stack (a.k.a. the ingredients):
- React
- Next.js
- Tailwind CSS
- Supabase
- A sprinkle of sarcasm and zero investors
want to sell this?
Nobody’s stopping you. Seriously. It’s MIT licensed.
Just add:
- Stripe billing (already half-coded)
- A fancy landing page
- A pricing tier that pretends to care about startups
- Your logo instead of Kanba’s
- Done: You’re now a “Founder”
reality check
- You still need a Supabase account
- Stripe works only if you wire it up
- No Docker yet. You’ll have to gasp use Node.js
- No fake AI features pretending to “auto-organize” your tasks

Final Thought:
Trello charges you for moving rectangles.
Kanba lets you move rectangles for free.
