The UI is wonky. Things jump around, overflow, and give off a very unpolished vibe
The installation prerequisites will make you feel like a trainee sitting in the cockpit of an airplane for the first time.
To install Wekan on Windows, you need to have Node.js LTS version 12.x and npm installed. I don't see a Calendar view from the screenshots, but it looks very nice otherwise
Nooooope (check the install from source page for details).
We can is not a desktop or mobile app. It's a web app and you have to host it yourself.
Not very useful if you just want to install something on your PC and run it natively.
If you don't know anything about servers, it will be impossible to install (there's no such as thing as a download buttom).
get it from Microsoft store.
Hosting Wekan with docker and docker-compose is pretty straight forward.
I tried to use Wekan on my android phone. First thing to notice: There is no dedicated Wekan app. Instead you have to use your browser and navigate to your wekan instance.
Importing kanban boards from Trello was easy and everything was showed correctly.
Unfortunately the mobile version of wekan boards is not very well designed. Kanban state columns are aligned vertically and you can't drag and drop cards from one state to another. Instead you have to click through multiple menus and buttons to bring cards e. g. from "todo" to "in progress".
Wekan is feature rich but all the buttons for the features in the android app are confusing and not well designed.
In a browser on a PC Wekan looks and feels very good and is optically IMHO the best free and open source alternative to Trello so far.
