A js app and some java REST services to display a board

Web-kanban

A simple javascript application to display draggable tickets on a web page.

Why another kanban app ?

The motivation is to have a simple tool that one can host easily in an offline java environment. Unfortunately, there are no plan to sell an hosted version of trello. And alternatives to trello are all web-based products or non open-source.

We started from Simple-kanban since it does the job quite well. After bummping versions of both jquery and the jQuery List DragSort plugin, @seblm realized that JQuery UI already have the native feature to sort out elements of a page. And then we are significantly deriving from simple kanban...

How to use it ?

mvn jetty:run

Where the data is stored ?

The data is stored in memory server side. It is not persisted when the server shutdown.

Can I use it for a team ?

This tool supports several web clients. There is a websocket implementation to support updates : any story modification is reflected on other clients.

This is not kanban

This version does not currently supports column creation. Only 3 columns are created by default.

The plan

Look at the issues for the roadmap. Feel free to submit a feature or fork it.

web-kanban's Issues

ipad

Make the ui ipad compliant...

Use open source sticky notes

A failure in the WebSocketTest does not fail the tests...

...because WebSockets are non-blocking of course.

Should find a way to get the failures generated when calling WebSocket.OnTextMessage methods

When drag'n'dropped, a story doesn't keep order into the new column

This issue occurs when other clients (or tabs) refresh their view of the application after someone drag'n'drop story.

Wait for the websocket notification before moving the ticket

Doesn't works on Firefox 11.0

When I drag a story from one column to another, an error message is displayed :
HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /api/story/undefined/TODO. Reason: Not Found

A story should be removeable

Include a link on the note

Hey,

first of all thanks a lot for the app. I wanna start using it at work but there's one feature I'd really love to have: being able to include a link! Could be to the bugzilla entry (if there is one) or to some other documentation about the note.

Fixes 404 dues to incomplete local version of jquery-ui js

Change the way stories are saved (static) in order to test it without state issue

REST Backend

Instead of a textarea in the html file, use a REST backend to save stories.

A modified story should be pushed to all connected clients

A synchronization mechanism :

1. "Client A" connects
2. "Client B" connects
3. "Client A" moves "Story 1" from "Column alpha" to "Column beta"
4. "Client B" sees "Story 1" moved from "Column alpha" to "Column beta"

Add a story

Should add a story in a column

Use HTML5 content-editable to edit a task

Click enter to add a story

Unable to move a story into an empty column

Using http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/empty-lists.html should fix stuff

Add charset to rest services to fix warning

Should read data fron json file instead of the textarea
