Nullboard
Minimalist locally-stored kanban board for compact task management

Nullboard is a minimalist kanban-style task manager implemented as a single-page HTML application. It keeps data in the browser (localStorage), provides editable in-place notes and supports multiple boards with quick switching.
Key Features
- Single-file single-page web app implemented in plain HTML/JavaScript/CSS for a very small footprint
- Browser-local storage of boards and notes (localStorage) with manual export/import in JSON format
- Multiple boards with near-instant switching and compact, readable layout
- In-place editing, keyboard shortcuts and drag-and-drop note/list reordering
- Undo/redo history (defaults to 50 revisions per board) for quick recovery of recent changes
- Note collapsing for compact views and configurable font/zoom/theme options (including inverted/dark theme)
- Optional automatic local backup via companion agent utilities (platform-specific agents exist)
Use Cases
- Personal task and project organization where data should remain local and private
- Quick, ephemeral planning boards for meetings, sprints or brainstorming sessions without server setup
- Portable offline-toolkits for users who prefer a compact, keyboard-first kanban interface
Limitations and Considerations
- Primarily designed for desktop (keyboard + mouse); touch/tap and mobile support are essentially untested
- Uses browser localStorage: boards can be lost if browser data/cache is cleared or profiles are removed
- No built-in multi-user collaboration or server-side sync; sharing requires export/import or external syncing tools
- Project is labeled beta and uses a license that includes a Commons Clause restriction; commercial resale is restricted
Nullboard is a lightweight option for users who want a distraction-free, locally-stored kanban board with minimal dependencies. It is best suited to single-user or local workflows where simplicity and privacy are priorities.
