Wakaba Alternatives
Wakaba is described as 'image board script very strictly modelled after the Futaba and Futallaby scripts. Wakaba borrows quite a bit of HTML code and translated text from Futallaby' and is a Imageboard in the development category. There are eight alternatives to Wakaba, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including MySQL Community Edition, Self-Hosted solutions, PHP and Mac. The best alternative is Kusaba X, which is both free and Open Source. Other great sites and apps similar to Wakaba are vichan, FoolFuuka, Saguaro Imageboard and Glaukaba.
Kusaba X is open source imageboard software written in PHP, a continuation of the kusaba imageboard software, which Trevor has quit supporting.
