A lightweighted KanBan system that can be self-hosted. I like the simple and minimalist style interface. Support IMAP authentication and email notification. There is a plenty of plugins available. It do not have a native APP in android or iOS, but it's fine for me, as KanBan is not designed for using in a small screen.

Tagging this service as "online" is dishonest because it does not clearly convey that hosting it online is your own responsibility!

It's as online as running your own e-mail service versus having an e-mail with any of the free providers (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc)

If you have the hosting resources and the technical skills to run this software on a server, then you've got yourself a 'free' service. Neglecting to account for those two is what I consider a 'dishonest' description.

If you able to deploy it on your own host / server, then you have a free of charge tool, which is easy to handle, quick and effective, simple to handle, with a lot of options. I really recommed it.

Fairly easy to install, most issues have been addressed or resolved on Github/Docs, simple and intuitive design, not many dependencies (works without Node.js installed), pretty slim and a great self-hosted alternative to Trello.
