File Format
The text based format is designed to be simple for humans, git, and LLMs to read and edit.
# Project name
## Column name
- [ ] Task number one.
- [ ] Some other task.
## Another column
- [ ] Yet another task.
CLI Install
curl -O https://mccormick.cx/apps/kanban-todo/kbtd
chmod 755 kbtd
# By default `kbtd` loads the web app from the my server.
# If self-hosting, set KBTD_URL to load from your server instead:
# export KBTD_URL="https://mccormick.cx/apps/kanban-todo/"
# Then launch with:
./kbtd TODO.md
Self Host
Copy index.html up to your server.
If you're using the kbtd command line launcher, set KBTD_URL to point at your server.
Browser Support
Unfortunately the web app requires a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.) for the FileSystem Access API. Firefox and Safari don't implement it. The kbtd script runs the app in an isolated browser instance that doesn't interfere with your main browser.
