Focalboard is a self-hosted project management application offering board/card-based work organization similar to Trello. The architecture consists of a Go backend server providing REST/WebSocket APIs, a React/TypeScript frontend with Redux state management, and native desktop clients (macOS Swift, Windows WPF, Linux) that embed the web UI. Key features include boards with multiple views (table/kanban/calendar/gallery), customizable properties, real-time collaboration, import/export from external tools (Trello, Asana, Notion), sharing capabilities, and Mattermost plugin compatibility. Data is stored in SQL databases (SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL) with schema migrations. The repository exhibits a maintenance warning indicating the project is currently not maintained despite recent commits, suggesting stale status with potential dependency drift.
