Hi there all,

I’m aware that this sub has received its fair share of “looking for a Trello alternative” posts over the last few years. I’m about to add to the pile, but in particular, I’m looking for a solution that is customizable via plugins or similar.

Basically that means I want to add a custom field, take that input and do whatever I want with it, without having to leave the context of the application & write a whole other python script to interact with APIs and other unfun stuff.

Appreciate any answers I’d be given in this case, thanks in advance.

    It’s not *precisely* made to replace Trello, but Obsidian has a great Kanban plugin that behaves very similarly to trello. I combine it with the Tasks plugin to give each card/task more functionality. The Tasks plugin has a querying syntax which you could theoretically pipe into other API/scripting plugins. I can’t say for certain “Adding this tag to a Kanban card can produce an API call” but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s possible. I haven’t looked that hard.

    If you aren’t aware of Obsidian, it’s a plaintext/markdown-based notetaking app at its core, but with an extremely deep set of community plugins. The notes/boards can be synced via any local/remote cloud, or with their paid service.

      Obsidian has been previously recommended to me for another use case - seems that it’s a very jack-of-all-trades tool. Suppose I should actually give it a look then.

      Sync was the primary barrier for me though, since that service is paid…
