I've been looking for a new Kanban system ever since Restyaboard has slowed down.

Does anyone know how this compares against Taiga or WeKan?

Kanboard is featureful, simple to use, and very fast to load. Hosting wekan was a pain and the UX just sucked compared to Kanboard.

I highly recommend Kanboard or Gitea’s kanban issue boards if you’re already using that.

If Gitea has kanban now, they're a great rec.

Their docs (https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison?_highlight=is...) bring me to this GitHub issue, which suggests that implementing Kanban is in progress: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/14710

Personally, I think it's great that the features are there (much like you also get with GitLab), but I might opt for a more specialized solution that has been around for longer. For some folks the coupling isn't an issue and is welcomed instead, though!

It actually does! It's called Projects.

Thus ends my search for a kanban board, since I already have Gitea.

It's also got a decent codebase that's easy to extend via plugins.

Codebase is high quality

WeKan is maintained, major features being added, etc.

WeKan has very polished opinionated simplified design, high focus on usability. Less duplicate menus than Trello. More shiny than Kanboard.

WeKan does not have plugins. WeKan has all features included, keeping them all working, options to enable and disable features. Many WeKan Power users use most features of WeKan.

Some Kanboard plugins are not maintained or do not work.

I'd like to know, too.

WeKan is absolutely great! But self-hosting it is a bit cumbersome; except when using it as a Sandstorm (sandstorm.io) web app.

Hosting Kanboard is super easy

The UI/UX of WeKan and Kanboard made it a toss-up for us. I'd give both a demo.
