Free. Simple. Real-Time.
Eboardo is a clutter-free project management board designed for development teams who want to stay organized without drowning in features they’ll never use.
The Problem with Project Management Tools
Modern PM tools are bloated. They have features for every possible use case, which means:
- Steep learning curves — Weeks to onboard a new team member
- Feature fatigue — 80% of features go unused
- Slow performance — Loading spinners for simple actions
- Expensive — $10-50/user/month for basic functionality
- Vendor lock-in — Your data trapped in proprietary formats
You wanted a simple board. You got a complexity monster.
Eboardo: Back to Basics
Eboardo does one thing well: visual project tracking.
What You Get
- Kanban boards — Drag-and-drop cards across columns
- Real-time updates — WebSockets power instant collaboration
- Simple cards — Title, description, assignee, due date
- Team workspaces — Organize by project or team
- Zero config — Create a board in 10 seconds
What You Don’t Get
- Gantt charts
- Time tracking
- Burndown reports
- Complex permissions
- Workflow automations
- Feature bloat
That’s the point.
Why Teams Choose Eboardo
1. Zero Learning Curve
If you’ve used Trello, you know Eboardo. No tutorials needed.
Onboarding time:
- Jira: 2-4 weeks
- Asana: 1-2 weeks
- Monday: 1-2 weeks
- Eboardo: 5 minutes
2. Actually Fast
Built with Go and HTMX, Eboardo is lightning fast:
- Page loads: < 100ms
- Card updates: Instant (WebSockets)
- Search results: < 50ms
- Minimal JavaScript
Your board should never be slower than your thoughts.
3. Free Forever

- No credit card required

Because project management shouldn’t be a profit center.
4. Your Data Matters

We don’t hold your data hostage.
Built for Developers, by Developers
The Stack
Eboardo showcases modern web development without the complexity:
Backend: Go with LeapKit framework
Frontend: HTMX + TailwindCSS (no React, no Vue, no SPA)
Real-time: WebSockets for instant updates
Database: SQLite (simple, fast, zero config)
The result: Sub-100ms page loads with minimal JavaScript.
Why This Matters
Most PM tools are slow because they’re built as JavaScript-heavy SPAs that:
- Download megabytes of JavaScript
- Make dozens of API calls on load
- Render everything client-side
- Break without JavaScript
Eboardo is different:
- Server-rendered HTML
- Progressive enhancement
- Fast by default
- WebSockets for real-time only
Fast by default. Simple by design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Eboardo really free?
Yes. Eboardo is completely free to use. The hosted version at eboardo.com is free with no premium tiers or credit card required.
How does Eboardo make money?
It doesn’t. Eboardo is a passion project by Wawandco to showcase what’s possible with Go and HTMX. We use it internally and wanted to share it with the community.
Can I import from Trello/Asana/Jira?
Not yet, but it’s on the roadmap. For now, you can export from those tools and import via our JSON API.
Is there a mobile app?
No, and there won’t be. Eboardo is a web app that works great on mobile browsers. Native apps add complexity we don’t want.
How secure is my data?
Eboardo uses standard security practices:
- HTTPS everywhere
- Passwords hashed with bcrypt
- SQLite with proper permissions
- Regular security updates
What if I need features Eboardo doesn’t have?
Eboardo is intentionally minimal. If you need:
- Gantt charts → Use ClickUp or Monday
- Time tracking → Use Toggl or Harvest
- Complex reports → Use Jira or Linear
- Everything else → Use the tool that fits
Eboardo isn’t trying to be everything. It’s trying to be the best at one thing.
