In the last month, I’ve been experimentally replacing my use of Trello, stickies, and todo lists with a phpBB instance.

So far I’m the only user, but it’s a surprisingly nice system for keeping track of notes and regular status updates on my projects. And when I need to collaborate with someone, the permission system is quite nice as well.

The fact that it’s free, mature, and relatively easy to install and maintain are what led me to give it a try.

I have plans to eventually write a kanban view and scheduled post plug-ins to make it a bit better project tracker.

I have been doing this since 2015 and, I agree! It is amazing how useful it is. I've tried various note taking apps, project management systems, etc and I keep coming back to this system of keeping notes and staying organized. The best part for me is I always have access to my notes even if I don't have my main device with me.

Huh now I really wonder if it would work out if you would replace Slack with a bulletin board organization wise

I implemented one for my company in 2006, and it worked much better than the Slack they use now, imho.

Do you think you'd feel comfortable sharing some images with redacted information to show how you are using it? Would love to peek into how a forum tool is being used in a non conventional way. Thanks!

Not sure how unconventional it is… I create topics for different projects or tasks, then regularly review/update them.

Here’s a link and some screen grabs of my topic list.

Just a quick late note of appreciation. My friends and I have been trying to have some community way of each of us sharing progress on hobbies and side projects. After looking at this it was a smack-forehead moment. Setting up a private discourse to keep track of things as we go along :)
