Measured entry

kibo-kanban

badgeminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side, compound-component Kanban board distributed through a shadcn registry. It provides sortable cards, droppable columns, drag overlays, keyboard and pointer sensors, and live announcements. It depends on dnd-kit, tunnel-rat, React, shadcn Card and ScrollArea components, Tailwind classes, and a cn utility.

Verdict

A capable foundation for teams already committed to shadcn and willing to own the application logic. The tested setup builds and mounts cleanly, but the bare setup does not: it needs a shadcn-style setup, including aliases and shared UI utilities. Review the cross-column state mutation before production use.

Use it if

  • You need a controlled Kanban primitive and can own the column and card data state.
  • Your product needs mouse, touch, and keyboard dragging with screen-reader announcements.
  • You already use shadcn conventions and want render callbacks for custom columns and cards.

Skip it if

  • You need a self-contained package that works without shadcn aliases, utilities, and registry components.
  • You want persistence, permissions, filtering, card creation, or workflow rules included.
  • You cannot accept the drag handler mutating an item object while moving it between columns.
  • You only need a badge or status label rather than an interactive board.

In a non-shadcn project, add the Card and ScrollArea primitives, the cn class-merging utility, the at-sign path alias, compatible Tailwind theme tokens, dnd-kit packages, and tunnel-rat. Then adapt the registry imports to your source layout and keep state updates controlled through onDataChange.
