I like pretty things, but for Kanban the tool’s appearance is perfect IMO. If anything, I’d want it to be duller: I want to spend as little time looking at my task management as possible, and making it prettier only serves that purpose if it’s more usable as a result. But this is already perfectly usable.
I think the landing page could use a little typography and spacing polish, but again it’s perfectly usable. It’s worlds better on my phone than ~99% of what I encounter where the lede includes “free and open source” or the target audience ≈ most of HN.
The only thing I really could criticize (with the tool, as presented) is that it’s susceptible to the same problems every software kanban implementation eventually succumbs to: every Trello eventually becomes a Jira. IMO it’s already too featureful (and I know some other commenters disagree here), not too much to rule it out for me but the real risk is there’s a very clear path for feature creep that would degrade its appeal (to me).
