Signboard 2.0 will be a line-in-the-sand release. There will be Pro features that are only available to Pro subscribers. The 1.7.x release will always be all free. I’ll likely do a release there that removes the commercial license and keeps the tip jar. Stay tuned!

Side note: It is really, really nice.

There were issues with Signboard’s updater on Windows and Linux. Those have now been fixed so if you’re running Signboard 1.5.0 or earlier you should be able to update to 1.6.0 now.

I’m trying to record a demo video of all of Signboard’s features, including those that will ship in version 1.5 (coming soon), and I’m just failing miserably. I’ll do it another day. So many great features in this app.

A wee bug fix release of Signboard 1.4.1 was just released. I am looking forward to writing and sharing more about this app, and how I and others are using it, very soon. My productivity is through the roof.

Signboard 1.4.0 just shipped and it includes a new Planner workspace that contains the date-based views of Calendar, This Week, and new Day and Agenda views. This allows you to get a bird’s eye view of all of your open Boards (or, drill down into just one).

I’ll write more about this release when I have time.

Small detail in Signboard… as you drag a card it begins to slightly tilt in the direction that you’re dragging. Makes me happy.

Signboard 1.1.0 is coming tomorrow and it will include curated color themes (so aesthetic) and importing from both Trello and Obsidian. And a few other nice new things.

Signboard has had a hidden secret from the beginning, you can import data from Trello. Starting in 1.1.0, which will ship this Friday, that feature will no longer be hidden. Oh, and you’ll also be able to import from Obsidian and its leading community kanban plugins also.

Bug fix release coming Friday.

Just released Signboard 0.4.0 that adds due dates to cards and lays the foundation for labels and other card metadata. I’m so happy to have due dates since Signboard is now my daily driver. The next build will be a code refactor and bug fixes from this release.

If you’re like me; you like files, you like web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you like markdown, you like kanban, you like pomodoro, and you like apps. If this sounds like you reach out. I’ll be open sourcing something in the coming weeks and I’d like some early testers.
