Tell HN: I want to build an open-source Trello that's free, and a joy to use

Hey HN, one of my favorite hobby is building good open-source software that's actually well-designed, looks good, and is a joy to use. So far, I've built https://www.gethalfmoon.com (Bootstrap alternative), and https://forms.md (Typeform clone).

I'm also a fan of software that's done, or completed. Software doesn't have to constantly update and add useless bullshit. Most of the time, less is more. I also really dislike SPAs, and prefer fast-loading HTML based web apps (with HTMX now).

When I first used Trello, I became a fan instantly. It just had that quality that you get with some software where you actually like using it. Here's what I want to build next (in my free time, so no commitments): an open-source, free Trello clone that's feature-complete, and also a joy to use with good UX.

No AI, no React, no SPA bullshit, no stupid pricing, no stupid feature creep, just the basics executed with skill.

Would you be interested? In case you are: https://forms.gle/qcLJ8DYeNWw3BvTk7
