KanbanCord

Updates

What has changed in KanbanCord, newest first.

Due dates in your own time, and replies to /report

  • Due dates picked on the website are now in your own time zone, as they look. Before, they were saved as UTC, so outside UTC reminders, the overdue filter and Discord could be hours off from what the website showed. Due dates set earlier on the website may be off by your difference from UTC: check the ones that matter.
  • Replies to /report: the developer can now answer an issue or suggestion you sent, by direct message from KanbanCord.
  • Times you type in Discord are in your own time zone too. Discord does not tell bots anyone's time zone, so the website saves yours from your device when you open it. If you only use Discord, choose it with /notifications timezone:, such as Europe/Berlin or UTC+8. Until one is known, times are read as UTC and the reply says so; typing an offset, like 2026-11-20 17:00 +08:00, still works.

Scrolling wide boards with a mouse

  • Boards wider than the screen have a scrollbar again, always at the bottom of the window, however long or short the columns are.
  • Press and drag any empty part of the board page to move the board sideways.
  • Dragging a task or column to the left or right edge scrolls the board, so it can go to a column that is off screen.
  • Scrollbars across the website now use the theme's colours.

Only people who use KanbanCord are stored

  • KanbanCord no longer keeps a copy of every server member. It keeps the people who use it on a server, and the ones someone assigns or names in a permission rule. Everyone else is looked up in Discord when needed: searching for someone to assign, or for a permission rule, still finds anyone in the server.
  • People who are in no server with KanbanCord any more, and made nothing that still shows their name, are removed within two days. The privacy policy says what is kept and for how long.

Feature suggestions, label progress and reminder times

  • KanbanCord notices when a board does a feature by hand and suggests the feature that does it for you: tags like [M] or [Bug] at the start of titles suggest labels, [E], P1 or "high prio" suggest priorities, deadlines written into titles suggest due dates, and names on tasks suggest assignees. On the website the suggestion shows above the board; in Discord it is a private tip after /task create or /task edit, at most once a day. Anyone with Manage Server can switch the feature on with one click; everyone else is told who can. Dismiss a suggestion and it does not come back for that board. Nothing is ever switched on by itself.
  • New guide: switching on features, in Discord and on the website, and keeping one board simple.
  • How far a label is. Filter a board by a label on the website and a line says how many of its tasks are done (in the last column, or archived) and who still has open ones. In Discord, /label list shows the same for every label.
  • Reminder times before a due date. Reminders no longer only come a day before: a server can choose up to five times, from 5 minutes to 30 days before (/kanbancord reminders, or Server settings → Notifications), and a board can have its own (/board reminders, or its settings).
  • Your own reminder times. Anyone can choose their own times for every board or for one, which replace the board's for their own direct messages: /notifications reminders:, Settings → Notifications on the website, or a board's ⋯ menu → Your reminders.
  • When several times have passed at once, for a task made due in two hours, only the latest is sent. Everyone is still reminded once a task is overdue.

Updates without downtime, and /ping

  • New versions no longer interrupt you. The website and the API now switch to a new version only once it is running and healthy, so updates happen without the short outage they used to cause, and a broken version never goes live. The bot still restarts in a few seconds.
  • /ping shows how fast KanbanCord answers: its connection to Discord, a request to Discord and back, and KanbanCord's API, each marked good, so-so or slow, with how long the bot has been up.
  • The bot's status now shows in the member list again, with the number of servers, boards and tasks it keeps track of.
  • Long board names without spaces wrap inside their card instead of pushing the menu button out of it.

Pinned boards, a board menu, and importing tasks

  • Pin boards to the dashboard: pinned boards from every server you are in appear at the top of the dashboard, above the server you have open, so the boards you use most are one click away. Pins are saved with your account and follow you to every device.
  • Each board has a ⋯ menu on its card and on the board page: pin or unpin it, open its settings, export it, archive or restore it, or delete it. The settings are now only about configuring the board.
  • Import tasks into a board from its ⋯ menu on the website, or with /task import in Discord. Paste a list, one task per line, with or without bullets, numbers or checkboxes: indented items become a checklist in the task, headings start a column, and ticked items go to the last column. Spreadsheet cells, CSV and Markdown tables and KanbanCord board files work too, with their columns, due dates, priorities and labels matched to the board.
  • A preview comes first, showing which column each task goes to and anything left out, such as labels the board does not have. Nothing changes until you import, and the whole import is one change in the audit log and feeds.

Updates, a public roadmap, and archiving tasks

  • This page: what has changed in KanbanCord, newest first. It is linked at the top of every page.
  • The roadmap: KanbanCord's own board, open to everyone, showing what is being worked on, what is planned and what is done.
  • Report an issue on the roadmap: press Report beside its title and sign in with Discord to add a bug or an idea to its Issues column, one an hour.
  • Very long columns fold: a column taller than two screens is cut off there, with a button at the bottom to show the rest.
  • Updates and the roadmap are linked from the dashboard too. On phones, the site's links are behind a menu button, so the header stays readable.
  • Archive a task to take it off the board without deleting it: from the task on the website, from its menu in Discord, or with /task archive. It keeps its details, people, labels and comments, but cannot be changed until it is restored.
  • Archive every task in a column at once, such as a long Done column: from the column's ⋯ menu on the website, the column's view in Discord, or /column archive-tasks. Feeds and the audit log show it as one change, not one per task.
  • Find and restore archived tasks: on the website, choose Archived tasks in the board's filters and open one; in Discord, use /task restore. A restored task goes back to the end of its column.
  • /help now shows its commands a few at a time, with Previous and Next.

Import and export, /audit, and who else is in the Activity

  • Export a board as a file, from its settings on the website or with /board export. Its columns and tasks are always included; labels, priorities, assignees, comments and permission rules are up to you.
  • Import a board from such a file as a new board, here or in another server: use the arrow next to Create board, or /board import. People and roles that are not in the server are left out, and you are told how many.
  • /audit browses the audit log in Discord, filtered by board, person or kind of change.
  • See who else is in the Activity: the faces of everyone else in the same Activity session appear at the top.
  • A guide to the Discord Activity, on the website.
  • Posting a board again in a channel replaces the older post there: the old one links to the new one and stops updating.
  • Moving tasks, permission checks and the website's first load are faster.

Fifteen more languages, 24 in all

The website is now also in Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latin American Spanish, Polish, Romanian, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.

The translations were made with the help of AI. If you notice a mistake or a wording that could be better, use /report in Discord.

Your language follows your account

  • The language you choose follows your account, on every device and in the Activity.
  • The Activity starts in Discord's language until you choose one yourself.

KanbanCord as a Discord Activity

  • Open your boards inside Discord: start the KanbanCord Activity from a voice channel's Activities menu, or from the app launcher in any text channel. Everyone in the call sees the same board, live, and Discord signs you in.
  • Changes made in the Activity show as such in the audit log.
  • Colour-blind friendly themes now keep every status colour clearly apart.

@everyone and Quick setup

  • @everyone works like in Discord: its own layer of permissions beneath your roles, so a role's rules always win over it.
  • Quick setup: set a server or a single board up in one step, as Everyone contributes, Members view, staff edit or Staff only. You can fine-tune from there.

The website in eight more languages

  • The website is now in French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Turkish. Pick a language in Preferences, or request one that is missing from the language list.
  • Preferences and settings in one dialog, with every section on one page.
  • When something stops working, KanbanCord says what: if the bot loses access to a feed, audit log or board post channel, it names the missing permission and the channel, and tells the server.
  • New labels and priority levels can be made right from a task's panels in Discord.
  • The bot's status shows live counts of servers, members, boards and tasks.
  • The About page tells how KanbanCord came to be.

Task threads, Create task and Check access

  • A thread per task: /board threads gives each task its own thread in one of the board's feed channels, public or private. Threads follow the task's title and close when it is deleted.
  • Discuss in thread: a button on tasks that opens the task's thread, or makes it there and then.
  • Create task from a message: right-click or long-press a message, then Apps → Create task. The task links back to the message.
  • Check access: see what anyone may do on a server or board, and which rule decided it.
  • Feed events, mentions and boards, a board's own feed settings, and the events you are messaged about can all be changed from Discord now.
  • Stop a server's direct messages right from one of them.
  • The bot refuses a feed or audit log channel it could not post in, and says why.
  • Every /guide step is ticked off as your server completes it.
  • A full guide to permissions, with every case explained.

Open permissions and a board's own feed settings

  • Open permissions: for small groups that trust each other, everyone who can talk in the server can create, change and move everything on its boards. Switch it on with /kanbancord features or in the server's features.
  • A board's own feed settings: change which events a feed posts about one board, without changing the feed for the others.
  • Comments can only be edited by the person who wrote them.
  • Every view in Discord leads onward, and every action is offered to everyone who can see it; whether they may do it is checked when they click.
  • A tip for managers of a brand-new server on how simple mode works.

Board posts, interactive feeds and guides

  • Board posts: /board post puts a whole board in a channel or thread as one message that updates itself whenever the board changes. Anyone can open its columns and tasks from the post.
  • Interactive feeds: a feed can post the whole task with buttons to move, assign or edit it right there.
  • Follow a task to hear about its changes, from Discord or the website.
  • Mentions per event: choose for each kind of change whether a feed mentions the people it concerns.
  • /label and /priority manage a board's labels and priority levels from Discord.
  • /guide walks you through setting up a server step by step, and /kanbancord features switches simple mode's features on and off.
  • The new-task form only asks for what your server uses.
  • Guides on the website, with screenshots, for every part of KanbanCord.

KanbanCord launches

The bot and the website go live.

  • Boards from Discord: create boards, columns and tasks, move and assign them, set due dates and comment with /board, /column, /task and /comment.
  • The website: whole boards at a glance, with drag and drop, search and filters, and images and videos in task descriptions.
  • Permissions that follow your Discord roles from the start, fine-tuned per board and per person on the website.
  • Simple mode: labels, priorities, assignees, comments, due dates and custom permissions stay off until a server switches them on. Each board can switch them off again for itself.
  • Assign roles as well as people.
  • Notifications: update feeds in the channels you choose, an audit log channel that never pings, direct messages about your own tasks, and reminders before tasks are due.
  • Themes and accessibility options, including high contrast and a larger text size.
  • /help lists every command, and /report sends a bug report or idea straight to the developer.
