HN comment orderThis is very cool. BTW, when developing single HTML file apps, instead of localStorage, one can use the HTML as the source of truth, so the user can just save/save-as to persist. I had mentioned my quick and dirty attempt at an image gallery that is a self-contained html file and some really liked the concept, if not the "app" itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41877482
This is mine. It is something I wrote for my own use after looking at all existing options and finding them not to my liking. This is pretty much a weekend hack, it is from 2019 and it's still close to what I need. When I have time I plan to improve keyboard support, add color tags and archiving of completed items. It will also be redone to not use localStorage and to support a remote storage option. Shared use…
For the interested, I made another project whose frontend looks identical to this, but uses an sqlite backend synchronized with websockets [1]. It’s single-user, real-time and has authentication. [1] https://github.com/nitrix/kanban
