A kanban board is columns, cards, and drag-to-reorder. That's a well-worn UI pattern with mature libraries behind it — the hard part of Trello was never the board, it's the automation rules layered on top, which most people never touch.

Build it. A kanban board is columns, cards, and drag-to-reorder. That's a well-worn UI pattern with mature libraries behind it — the hard part of Trello was never the board, it's the automation rules layered on top, which most people never touch.
Trello costs $5/mo (about $60/yr) as of 2026-08. That's what a working rebuild would save you.
Butler-style automation rules ('when a card enters this list, do X') are a small workflow engine, not a weekend add-on Power-Ups (their plugin ecosystem) — you lose every third-party integration your team already uses Real-time sync so two people see the same board update instantly is doable but adds real complexity beyond solo use
Yes — Planka, Focalboard are open-source options worth trying before you build your own. Details are in the standard parts section on this sheet.
