Hi HN, I'm Ash, I'm excited to share with you what I've been working on since June last year.
It started as a side project because I needed this tool for myself, but later on decided to put it out there for everyone.
I left corporate world last year where I worked as a software engineer in C# stack and since then I've have been working on this full time.
Here's my tech stack:
- React + BlueprintJS for desktop app.
- React Native + React native elements for Android/iOS app.
- NextJS + Bulma css for the website.
- Firebase Auth and Firestore for the database.
- Google cloud functions for handling some of the backend operations.
Brisqi is an offline-first personal Kanban app. It runs completely offline and can sync to cloud as well. I wrote my own sync solution to support full offline capabilities. Brisqi mobile app also runs fully offline - just need to login once. It also encrypts data on the client side before storing it on the servers.
Since many years, I had always wanted an offline Kanban tool but I didn't find any solution which would fit my needs. The goal of this project was to build a personal offline-first productivity tool with a focus on privacy. It does not compete with any other online alternatives out there since this more of a personal tool than others which are more team oriented. Check out the website for screenshots and features.
I had posted this on reddit and also had commented here on HN before and it had gotten positive feedback all around so I decided to make a proper post for it so others can find it as well. Try it, I think you might like the simplicity of it.
Hey Ash, decided to give the app a try and thought it's pretty slick! It sorta reminds me of Trello, but a bit more offline-oriented, which is nice for those of us who wants a bit more privacy/security.
I'm not sure if it's part of the roadmap, but if you can implement team collaboration, then that'd be really cool.
Otherwise, it's a great product with a very solid foundation :)
Hey, thanks for the feedback and trying out Brisqi, I appreciate it. Brisqi is more of a personal app than the one made for teams so I don't have any team oriented features on the roadmap yet. May be in the future I'll come back to it.
