Wekan Kanban on Sandstorm Oasis

Ben Sturmfels at

Wekan is a free software Kanban tool. I've been finding it really handy in my software engineering business. I use one board for high-level juggling of projects in progress, which sit somewhere between "lead" and "paid". I also use a board per project for the various elements of that project. It's very polished and easy to use.

Sandstorm Oasis is a marvellous service, because it saves me having to host all my own services and the secure sharing/collaboration features are brilliantly simple. To be honest, I may have never tried Wekan if it wasn't a few clicks away in Sandstorm.

I forgot to mention that I pay for a Sandstorm Oasis account, which for a small monthly fee gives me essentially "all you can eat" private web apps, with about 70 different apps to choose from. Very good value.

some kind of appstore? ..

for me that concept is a bit of a turn-off


the page listing the apps won't even load which doesn't give me a good impression.

I won't sign up to anything that won't show me what it offers.


Sounds like it needs a hefty box to run on anyway



for hosting I prefer a shell prompt and keeping things lightweight and simple so not convinced theres much to interest me there.

Interesting. I originally came across this project as libreboard. They had a bit of a rocky start, but now they've moved past that. I will have to try it again.
