To Do

Refine desktop interactions
Local-first MVP
A sticky Kanban board that lives on your desktop.
Stickban is a lightweight desktop task board built for fast capture, drag-and-drop flow, SQLite-backed persistence, and zero dependency on paid services or cloud infrastructure.
Doing
Validate release pipeline
Improve keyboard flow
Done
Bootstrap Electron app
Fast local flow
Single-board workflow with three columns, drag and drop, quick card creation, and local persistence.
Offline-first by design
SQLite is the source of truth. The first milestone works fully locally, without sync, OAuth, or external services.
Built for the desktop
Electron shell, always-on-top support, and a layout designed to stay visible while you work.
Current stack
Pragmatic technology, minimal operational cost.
Stickban is built around Electron, React, TypeScript, SQLite, Zustand, Tailwind CSS, and
dnd-kit. The bootstrap milestone avoids remote sync and infrastructure on purpose.
- Electron + React + TypeScript

Open-source, AI-assisted, and still moving fast.
Stickban is being built in public, with an AI-assisted workflow and manual review. The public site and desktop app are deployed independently so product releases and project communication can evolve in parallel.
