A free, open-source, accessible, dark-mode-first kanban board — a calm alternative to Trello. Built by Malin Fossum and Henry Elendheim as a learning project for GET Prepared.
Slice 1 — local single-user board (in progress).
Boards, lists, and cards work end to end — create, rename, delete, and reorder lists inside a board, add cards to a list, move a card within its list or to another list, mark a card done, label them, and open a card into a focused task view to edit its title, notes, due date, and labels — saved to SQLite, accessible and dark-mode-first.
- Done: the board, list, card, and label backend (JSON APIs behind
IBoardRepository,IListRepository,ICardRepository, andILabelRepositoryseams, EF Core + SQLite, 113 NUnit tests, localhost-only) and the vanilla-JS MVC frontend (board-view navigation, accessible list reordering, card chips with a focused task view, accessible card moving with up/down buttons and a move-to-list dropdown, an inline label picker with soft-tint chips on cards and the board, a done checkbox that tucks completed cards into a collapsible per-board Done area, screen-reader announcements, keyboard focus management). - Next: a per-card checklist.

- ASP.NET Core (
net10.0) — minimal API, localhost only - EF Core → SQLite for storage, behind an
IBoardRepositoryseam - Vanilla-JavaScript MVC frontend, served from
wwwroot - NUnit tests
| Project | Responsibility |
|---|---|
Wend.Core |
Board domain, the IBoardRepository seam, EF Core data access |
Wend.Api |
Minimal API endpoints; serves the frontend |
Wend.Tests |
NUnit tests covering Core and the API |
dotnet run --project Wend.Api
Then open http://127.0.0.1:5174 to create boards, open one to manage its lists (create, rename, delete, reorder), add cards and move them within or between lists — open a card for its task view to edit the title, notes, due date, and labels. The API lives under /api/boards, /api/lists, /api/cards, and /api/labels. On first run the SQLite database is created at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Wend\data.db.
dotnet test
