Show HN: kankan, infinitely nested kanbans for procrastinators

Every time I tried to organize my life I always found myself on the receiving end of the same three problems:

- Overwhelmed by the volume.

- Discouraged by the effort required.

- Frustrated by lack of progress.

I always liked how kanban boards worked on my job, but when trying to translate them to my personal life they got too big and unwieldy fast.

I figured out that if I made them infinitely nestable I could solve the 3 problems at once

- Being able to break down the tasks into smaller and smaller subtasks until the activation cost didn't discourage me.

- Hiding the total volume in that nesting dimension, I can have more focused visibility and avoid being overwhelmed by the volume.

- Tracking even the most minimal progress kept me motivated as I had immediate feedback that my effort wasn't in vain.

It's free and open source. Currently working on multi language support.

Feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!
