What is it?

4ga Boards is a kanban-style project management tool where boards update in realtime without reloading the page. Work is organized in a hierarchy of projects, boards, lists, cards and tasks, and cards include a Markdown editor for descriptions.

The app supports dark mode, collapsible lists and sidebar, and Google, GitHub, Microsoft and OIDC single sign-on. Boards can be exported and imported, and Trello boards can be imported directly. The interface is available in several languages, including English, French, German, Polish and Portuguese.

The project is meant to be self-hosted. The README describes Docker Compose as the recommended deployment, with Kubernetes, TrueNAS and manual installs also documented. The stack is React and Redux on the front end, Sails.js and Knex.js on the back end, and PostgreSQL for storage.
