From a brief search it seems to me that this has not been posted here before and may be of interest:
https://www.subtask.co/
It is a task manager combining task columns ala Trello, Kanban boards, calendar, timeline and prioritisation matrix. Tasks / subtasks are the main units of information which can be organised in all of the above views.
What I believe sets Subtask apart is its potentally infinite subtask hierarchy potential. Subtasks show their hierarchy information, which is useful to provide context, though taking additional screen real estate.
Subtask has been developed by the same team developing Plectica, mentioned here in the past.
There is currently a promotion for the Subtask personal plan lifetime subscription in Appsumo https://appsumo.com/products/marketplace-subtask/ If you are interested, do check out the Q&A. I understand it allows for infinite boards, and sharing each board with up to 20 people (which need only have the free plan).

Looks like it's been out maybe a year. Devs wrote about it last September

Appreciate the article links. I played with it under for a few this afternoon. While there are things to like about it, I always seem to have trouble with managers that are heavily based on Kanban Boards as the default or primary view. I do like Kanban boards, but as I am managing a number of projects, this arrangement can get cluttered quite quickly if I want to see all of my projects. This also reminded me a bit of Kanban Tool, which has some interesting features, but I think that I will be sticking with Click-Up for the time being. it seems to offer the best of both worlds - Kanban views and traditional collapsible outline with a folder pane.

ClickUp has serious money behind it. I see ads for it on public buses across NYC, something I only previously saw for some Microsoft software. It seems to have nice features, but it also looks like its devs looked at ZenKit 5 years ago and said, "Let's do that". (ZenKit, in the mean time, expanded its feature-set then fractured them into separate a la carte products, including the more consumer-focused To-Do and Hypernotes services.)

My understanding is that they do have some serious funding. But I also understand that their CEO thinks very highly of himself, if you know what I mean. But, their customer support is quite fast and responsive, so I will give them that. And I really like how it can be suited to my needs. I have incorporated it into my daily routine at my desktop and find using it to be a plus. The mobile app, however, is not my cup of tea.

I was actually drawn to Subtask by its multiple views, including nice Gantt/timeline, as I was to Zenkit (which additionally has mind maps) some time ago. I find this kind of hybrid agile/waterfall approach very useful for large projects--being agile day-to-day without losing the big picture.
My team worked extensively with Kanban Tool a few years back. It may not have the alternative views of Zenkit and the other hybrids but it is great at scaling. We happily managed hundreds of tasks whereas in some other Kanban boards just a few tens were enough to lose the overview.

FYI I just received an email about a 30%-off coupon for the unlimited Pro plan, using coupon-code FALL30, so a prepaid year costs $42.
But if you're willing to wait until 2 months Black Friday they might repeat last year's 50%-off coupon.

From their website: "After March 31, 2022, Subtask will be shut down - your task boards will not be available from that date forward."

Sadly, any app can be shutdown at any time. Which remains one of the reasons a subscription service is still riskier than a one-time purchase. And it makes a long track record all the more of a consideration when selecting the apps we use.
