Kanboard vs RentRedi: at a glance
What is Kanboard?
Six straight releases of security hardening, now reaching the API's own response shape
Kanboard is a stable, self-hosted PHP kanban board whose release stream is now almost entirely security work. Version 1.2.54 continues that pattern and pushes it further than most: API procedures no longer return private user fields, and changing a password invalidates every existing session and remember-me token. Feature development is close to dormant; the maintenance effort is going into closing whole categories of vulnerability rather than adding surface.
What is RentRedi?
RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.
RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.
Kanboard vs RentRedi: editorial side-by-side
Kanboard
2.5PM
Six straight releases of security hardening, now reaching the API's own response shape
◆ Current state
Kanboard is a stable, self-hosted PHP kanban board whose release stream is now almost entirely security work. Version 1.2.54 continues that pattern and pushes it further than most: API procedures no longer return private user fields, and changing a password invalidates every existing session and remember-me token. Feature development is close to dormant; the maintenance effort is going into closing whole categories of vulnerability rather than adding surface.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc from 1.2.49 through 1.2.54 is a systematic audit that works outward from one surface to the next — LDAP escaping, SSRF, deserialization, CSRF, comment visibility, bulk-operation ownership, and now API response shape and session lifetime. Each release also tightens the deployment story, from trusted-proxy configuration to an nginx config that only lets front controllers execute PHP. New user-facing features arrive rarely and small: opt-in full-text search, RTL support, richer API links.
◆ Prediction
Expect the audit to keep moving through remaining surfaces, with more permission checks in API procedures and continued PHP-version and base-image maintenance. Nothing in these entries points to a new feature direction.
RentRedi
7.5PM
RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.
◆ Current state
RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.
◆ Where it's heading
October's releases served landlords with staff: team chat access, payment filters, receipts and dark mode. Tenant Certificate adds a tenant-side growth loop, because landlords who receive a certificate are asked to create a RentRedi account. Maintenance is becoming a hub for partner updates like Lessen's.
◆ Prediction
Expect Tenant Certificate data to feed into screening or applications inside RentRedi, and the read-only Lessen timeline to gain replies.
