A modern, open-source kanban board for project management. Built with Go, htmx, and PostgreSQL, pm provides organizations with a simple yet powerful way to track work, collaborate on tasks, and manage projects.

• Drag-and-drop task management between customizable columns
• Customizable columns with color coding (default: To Do, In Progress, Done)
• Task cards showing title, description, due date, and assignees
• Task counts per column for quick progress tracking

• Organization-based workspaces with member management
• Multiple projects per organization for different teams or initiatives
• Cross-project task dependencies for complex workflows

• Blocking relationships between tasks (Task B blocked by Task A)
• Dual view of blockers (what's blocking this task) and blocking (what this task blocks)
• Cycle detection prevents circular dependencies
• Visual indicators for dependency status

• User accounts with email authentication and session management
• Task assignments to multiple team members
• Threaded comments with nested replies (up to 3 levels deep)
• Activity feed tracks all task changes with audit history

• Arbitrary key-value metadata stored as JSONB for custom fields
• Due dates with visual indicators for overdue and due-soon tasks
• Rich descriptions and editing capabilities
• Author tracking for task ownership

• Project-level labels with customizable colors
• Task categorization with multiple labels per task
• Visual indicators in task cards and detail pane
• Label management in project settings (create, edit, delete)

• Task search across titles and descriptions
• User search for finding team members
• Project picker for quick navigation between projects
• URL-based navigation for bookmarking and sharing task views

• htmx-powered partial updates for instant feedback
• Keyboard shortcuts (ESC to close panels)
• Responsive design works on desktop and tablet
• Clean, accessible interface built with TailwindCSS
