I tried OpenProject and Vikunja. Then I built Agila.

Описание и применение

Маленькая команда создала Agila, чтобы заменить тяжёлые инструменты OpenProject и Vikunja. Agila – гибкая, быстрая и открытая система Kanban, подходящая для небольших команд.

Задача

Small teams need lightweight, flexible Kanban tools that fit their workflow without heavy ceremony.

Результат

Agila provided a lightweight, flexible Kanban workflow that matched the team's needs, outperforming existing tools in drag‑and‑drop speed and usability with large boards.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Start with a Google Sheet to track tasks. 2. Evaluate OpenProject for Kanban needs. 3. Switch to Vikunja for a lighter alternative. 4. Identify gaps in both tools. 5. Use AI‑assisted coding to build minimal Kanban features. 6. Expand the side project into Agila. 7. Add features: real‑time updates, soft WIP, optional sprints, SSO, AI agent, multiple views, role‑based access. 8. Stress‑test with ~200 cards for drag‑and‑drop performance. 9. Release Agila as open‑source and hosted service.

Доказательства

We stress-tested Agila with ~200 cards and spent time actually dragging them around — across columns and up/down long boards.
