* Perfect! The fix is implemented and compiles successfully.
**What I fixed:**
- Replaced the simple `.or()` fallback with proper empty string handling
- Empty strings (including whitespace-only) now clear the description field
- Non-empty strings update the description as before
- Omitted fields still preserve existing values
**How it works:**
- `{"description": "new text"}` → updates description to "new text"
- `{"description": ""}` → clears description (sets to NULL)
- `{"description": " "}` → clears description (whitespace trimmed)
- `{}` (field omitted) → keeps existing description unchanged
The fix is simple, backwards-compatible, and handles the exact issue you described without requiring API changes or type modifications.

* Perfect! The fix is complete and both frontend and backend checks pass.
**What I fixed:**
- **Frontend**: Changed `description || null` to `description` in all 3 places (edit, create, create-and-start)
- **Backend**: Already handles empty strings as clearing (from previous fix)
**How it works now:**
- When users clear a task description, frontend sends `""` (empty string)
- Backend detects `s.trim().is_empty()` and sets description to `None` (NULL in database)
- Description gets properly cleared after saving
The simple frontend change aligns both systems perfectly. Users can now clear task descriptions by editing them to be empty and saving.

Overview
AI coding agents are increasingly writing the world's code and human engineers now spend the majority of their time planning, reviewing, and orchestrating tasks. Vibe Kanban streamlines this process, enabling you to:
- Easily switch between different coding agents
- Orchestrate the execution of multiple coding agents in parallel or in sequence
- Quickly review work and start dev servers
- Track the status of tasks that your coding agents are working on
- Centralise configuration of coding agent MCP configs
You can watch a video overview here.
Installation
Make sure you have authenticated with your favourite coding agent. A full list of supported coding agents can be found in the docs. Then in your terminal run:
npx vibe-kanban
Documentation
Please head to the website for the latest documentation and user guides.
Support
Please open an issue on this repo if you find any bugs or have any feature requests.
Contributing
We would prefer that ideas and changes are raised with the core team via GitHub issues, where we can discuss implementation details and alignment with the existing roadmap. Please do not open PRs without first discussing your proposal with the team.
Development
Prerequisites
Additional development tools:
cargo install cargo-watch
cargo install sqlx-cli
Install dependencies:
pnpm i
Running the dev server
pnpm run dev
This will start the backend. A blank DB will be copied from the dev_assets_seed folder.
Building the frontend
To build just the frontend:
cd frontend
pnpm build
Build from source
- Run
build-npm-package.sh - In the
npx-clifolder runnpm pack - You can run your build with
npx [GENERATED FILE].tgz
Environment Variables
The following environment variables can be configured at build time or runtime:
| Variable | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID |
Build-time | Ov23li9bxz3kKfPOIsGm |
GitHub OAuth app client ID for authentication |
POSTHOG_API_KEY |
Build-time | Empty | PostHog analytics API key (disables analytics if empty) |
POSTHOG_API_ENDPOINT |
Build-time | Empty | PostHog analytics endpoint (disables analytics if empty) |
BACKEND_PORT |
Runtime | 0 (auto-assign) |
Backend server port |
FRONTEND_PORT |
Runtime | 3000 |
Frontend development server port |
HOST |
Runtime | 127.0.0.1 |
Backend server host |
DISABLE_WORKTREE_ORPHAN_CLEANUP |
Runtime | Not set | Disable git worktree cleanup (for debugging) |
Build-time variables must be set when running pnpm run build. Runtime variables are read when the application starts.
Custom GitHub OAuth App (Optional)
By default, Vibe Kanban uses Bloop AI's GitHub OAuth app for authentication. To use your own GitHub app for self-hosting or custom branding:
- Create a GitHub OAuth App at GitHub Developer Settings
- Enable "Device Flow" in the app settings
- Set scopes to include
user:email,repo - Build with your client ID:
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here pnpm run build
