## What it is
PLANKA is a self-hosted, Kanban-style project management application for teams, built with JavaScript, React, and Node.js and deployable via Docker. It offers collaborative boards with drag-and-drop, real-time syncing, markdown card descriptions, notifications via 100+ providers, and multilingual support, with paid Pro/Enterprise editions for advanced features.

## Use cases
- self-host a kanban board for my team
- trello alternative I can run on my own server
- agile project management tool with real-time collaboration
- manage tasks with drag-and-drop boards
- open-source project tracking with docker deployment
- private kanban board for a homelab

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted Trello-like tool with full data control
- your team needs real-time collaborative kanban boards
- you want a docker-based, easy-to-deploy project management app
- you need multilingual support and notification integrations

## When to avoid
- you need OSI-approved open-source licensing (PLANKA is fair-code, not open source)
- you require SSO, guest roles, or advanced reporting without paying for Pro
- you need heavy-duty work management like Jira with sprints and reporting
- you want a fully managed cloud solution without self-hosting
