CLI Install

chmod 755 kbtd

# By default `kbtd` loads the web app from the my server.
# If self-hosting, set KBTD_URL to load from your server instead:
# export KBTD_URL="https://mccormick.cx/apps/kanban-todo/"

# Then launch with:
./kbtd TODO.md

Self Host

Copy index.html up to your server.

If you're using the kbtd command line launcher, set KBTD_URL to point at your server.
