Comparing free and open source Kanboard and Wekan self-hosted alternatives to Trello for kanban functionality

Whilst the free version of Trello has some really nice features along with the slickest GUI on the desktop as well as mobile, what if you want a securely in-house hosted and scalable alternative? One thing you have to accept is you're not quite going to get that same interface especially when it comes to mobile, but there is still rich functionality to be found in alternative products. The two strongest contenders I found based on similarity of looks and features, as well as ease of installation, were Wekan and Kanboard.

The app has no way at all to switch between the Watch and any external device (why not Samsung?). So, there are actually TWO different ways of getting your chest strap d...
