## Why Kanri?
At it's core, Kanri has the philosophy "do one thing, and do it well". Kanri is supposed to be a simpler, more user-friendly *offline* alternative to other cloud-based Kanban applications.

No matter what features get added, your data will always be yours, and there will never be any cloud sync built in. In the future, there will most likely be an option to save individual boards to different file paths, which will make the usage of tools such as Syncthing easier, but it's up to you what you do with your data.

### Core Features
- Familiar Kanban board layout with customizable columns, cards, including rich-text descriptions, sub-tasks, due-dates and tags
- Customization options such as custom themes and board background images
- Offline data storage in one simple `.json` file
