What Wekan actually does
Wekan is an open-source task management tool that arranges workflows on a kanban board, similar to Trello. It allows you to organise projects, create cards for tasks, and move them across different columns to track progress.
Best fit: It is a practical fit if you need a self-hosted, card-based visual workflow board without relying on proprietary cloud services.
Worth knowing: You should consider that it overlaps heavily with many other kanban tools and project management systems, so migration or feature alignment might require extra effort.
Deployment notes
As a Node.js application, it typically requires a persistent database such as MongoDB to store user data and boards, along with a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
