Show HN: Vibe Kanban – Kanban board to manage your AI coding agents

Get 10X more out of Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Amp and other coding agents...

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.
