## 😮 what is this?

Kanba is a clean, simple, no-bullshit tool for managing tasks.  
It’s like Trello, but:

- You own it
- You run it
- It doesn’t ask for money every month

Perfect for solo makers, tiny teams, or anyone who hears the word “Jira” and starts twitching.

## 🧱 what can it do?

- ✅ Drag tasks around (yup, just like Trello)
- ✅ Create boards, add team members
- ✅ Sort your chaos in kanban columns
- ✅ Switch between light/dark mode without therapy
- ✅ Works on your phone too
- ✅ Uses Supabase for login & storage
- ✅ MIT license = do whatever you want with it
- ✅ No signup walls, no SaaS guilt

## 🚀 how to install it?

**Step 1: Get the thing**  
Download it here:  
👉 [https://github.com/Uaghazade1/kanba](https://github.com/Uaghazade1/kanba)

**Step 2: Run it locally**

1. Copy the example settings:  
`cp .env.example .env.local`  
(add your Supabase keys inside)

2. Install & launch:  
`npm install`  
`npm run dev`

3. Open your browser:  
[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)

**Step 3: Brag about it on your resume**

## 🎩 what’s inside?

**Tech stack (a.k.a. the ingredients):**

- React
- Next.js
- Tailwind CSS
- Supabase
- A sprinkle of sarcasm and zero investors

## 💸 want to sell this?

Nobody’s stopping you. Seriously. It’s MIT licensed.  
Just add:

- Stripe billing (already half-coded)
- A fancy landing page
- A pricing tier that pretends to care about startups
- Your logo instead of Kanba’s
- Done: You’re now a “Founder”

* * *

## 🧠 reality check

- You still need a Supabase account
- Stripe works only if you wire it up
- No Docker yet. You’ll have to _gasp_ use Node.js
- No fake AI features pretending to “auto-organize” your tasks

**Final Thought:**  
Trello charges you for moving rectangles.  
Kanba lets you move rectangles for free.  
Which side of history do you want to be on?
