Their support is awesome, the interface is super clean and it was so easy to get it up and running.

Overview

What it is

Kanbans within Kanbans, it’s Kanbanception! A recursive Kanban system — think Russian dolls, where every card in a board opens into another board automatically. Currently just validating the idea - would you be interested in something like this?

Intent

I need it when

Manage projects of varying scales without mixing big initiatives with small recurring tasks

The layered kanban system separates concerns by project size and complexity. Users can keep major goals, projects, and granular tasks on different board levels, preventing small tasks from cluttering strategic project views.

Organize complex multi-layered projects with hierarchical task structures

Kanban Kanban enables recursive kanban boards where each card opens into another board, allowing users to think in layers rather than flat lists. This naturally maps large projects into smaller sub-projects and tasks, making it easier to manage scope and progress across multiple levels of abstraction.

Adapt a kanban workflow to specialized domains like content creation, research, or event planning

The product is designed to support diverse use cases including software engineering, content creation, research, event planning, life planning, property development, world building, and portfolio management, allowing domain-specific teams to apply layered kanban methodology to their workflows.

Visualize project completion as a cascade of nested achievements

Kanban Kanban's recursive structure reinforces the relationship between task completion, project progress, and goal achievement. Completing cards at lower levels visibly contributes to higher-level project completion, providing clear progress feedback across all layers.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs a simple flat task list without hierarchical project layers
  • User requires immediate production-ready software (product is in development)
  • User needs established pricing and transparent billing information
  • User prefers traditional single-level kanban boards without nested complexity
  • User requires extensive documentation and established support channels
