> "Local-first, zero servers. Everything lives in .kanbots/ next to your repo: SQLite database, configs, worktrees. No cloud account, no telemetry, no HTTP server. This is the open-source desktop edition."

This is table-stakes for me to consider adoption of a tool like this.

what is a table-stake?

The minimum required payment to play a gambling game, where the money up for grabs is called "stake". See also "raising the stakes". In context it means the minimum feature set to be considered for adoption.

This is basically what Windsurf is doing right [0]? Ultimately all this UI stuff is just window dressing on top of agents.

There's a few apps out there that facilitate handing off to agents from kanban boards. I needed something more 'human in the loop', handing off to an agent without good visibility of the change set and opportunity to steer doesn't work for me. https://www.agentkanban.io links a taskboard with github copilot chat in vs code via our extension so we have the benefit of task management and context capture from the chat to the tasks. This gives us all the features of a top harness (vs code) and the task / project management features at the same time.

I don’t see a problem here. Do you?

Also, Linear themselves are also working on this.

Is windsurf open source?

Just post the GitHub page if it’s open-source. It’s great you have a domain name, but if your website is going to look the same as every other SaaS product designed by Claude it’s really hard to look past that and look at the novelty or benefits of the product.

Hello folks, sharing my latest open source project, a kanban board with parallel agents. Trying to improve this with more features, I would love your contributions on this repo, with either code contributions or ideas

You should check out Stripe's dev blog about minions. Seems directionally similar.

I don't understand this.

It looks like a kanban interface to agent orchestration.
