vibe-kanban-local: Run a Local Kanban for Coding Agents
A local-only fork of Vibe Kanban for organizing workspaces and coding-agent sessions without the upstream hosted service. It is aimed at individual developers who want a self-hosted kanban and integrations backed by local SQLite.
atlas: Coordinate Coding Agents and Track Their Changes
Atlas is a desktop workspace for running multiple coding agents against one codebase and connecting their work to Git commits. It captures sessions and shares project context so teams and individuals can recover why a change was made and switch agents without restarting from scratch.
