Laraue Boards works just as well for one person as it does for a team. Your personal workspace is private by default β no organization needed, no invites, nothing to configure.
Your personal workspace
When you log in and choose Personal on the workspace screen, you enter your private workspace. Everything you create here β boards, spaces, issues β is visible only to you.
You can always create an organization later and move boards into it. Personal boards stay personal unless you explicitly move them.
The typical solo workflow
- Messages arrive in Telegram β a client sends a request, a colleague flags a bug, you receive a task in a group chat
- Forward to the bot β forward the message to @laraueboardsbot. It appears in your Backlog instantly
- Triage from the Backlog β open the Backlog view and assign each message to a board and status column
- Work the board β drag cards through columns as you progress through the work
- Done β cards in your Done column are out of the way but still searchable
Using the Backlog as an inbox
The Backlog is your unassigned inbox β everything that needs to be processed but hasn't been placed on a board yet. Think of it like email inbox zero: the goal is to triage everything into the right board.
The Backlog view shows a summary dashboard of all your boards when it is empty, giving you a progress overview at a glance.
Keeping boards small
A common mistake is creating one large board for everything. Instead, create separate boards for each distinct area of work:
- One board per client
- One board per project
- One board for personal life tasks separate from work
Use spaces to group related boards together once you have more than four or five.
Working offline
Laraue Boards requires an internet connection to sync with Telegram and load your boards. There is no offline mode currently.
