Terminal Kanban board for cards-based project management.
Under the hood Cardsboard functions as a file explorer. Items are stored as simple files directly on the file system. This means they can be easily edited by opening them in your preferred text editor. Furthermore, this allows for easy synchronization and integration with scripting and automation.
The UI is inspired by simplifying the interface of Nextcloud Deck, removing all advanced features (collaboration, comments etc.). Only the indicator of content in cards is kept, which allows to discern simple tasks from longer notes.

If non-existent, Cardsboard creates a default configuration at ~/.config/keepmenu/config.ini.
To be able to open and edit items you additionally need to set cmd to a program that can open Markdown files.
Use the placeholder {} for the absolute path to the file.
For example, to open files in vim in a new Alacritty terminal window you can use:
cmd = alacritty --title cardsboard-popup -e bash -c 'vim "{}"' > /dev/null`
Additional options like --tilte can tell the window manager to treat the window in a special way, e.g., as a pop-up window.
Furthermore, Cardsboard automatically detects when it is running inside Tmux and you can configure a special command for that case, e.g. use:
cmd_tmux = tmux popup -E vim "{}"
