Hi HN!

Organizing my work has always been frustrating because no tool seemed to fit my workflow. Every app I tried came with endless menus, complicated settings, and more clicking than actually working. If you've ever wrestled with Jira, you know the drill — its great for tracking an army of developers, but a tad overkill for my personal tasks.

That's why I built Minimalboard. It combines the simplicity of a good old notepad with the visual organization of a Kanban board. Its sole focus is speed and intuitiveness. Just click to start editing, drag to rearrange, and everything saves automatically. It's a quick, clean workspace to jot down ideas, organize tasks, or capture information on the fly.

I've been using Minimalboard privately for two years, and now I'm releasing it to see if I'm the only one with this peculiar obsession for simplicity or if others are equally struggling. Give it a spin and let me know what features you'd find useful. I'm curious to see how much functionality I can stuff in before it starts looking like, well, the tools I was trying to avoid!

Does it allow me to download my board data as a backup?

Hey! As of right now no but I am happy to add it :) Can you tell me more about the background of how you would use the export? It is just a simple JSON export that you can then work with with scripts or are you thinking about integrating with other applications? What would be the preferred format of the export & is an import also needed?

JSON or YAML would be universal enough.

Other than a backup - always a good practice even for hosted apps - the ability to build integrations with terrible enterprise project management platforms is nice to have.
