Kanban Boards

Overview

Every idea gets its own kanban board for project management. Boards are accessible to the idea author and all collaborators. The first time you visit a board, it's initialized with three default columns: To Do, In Progress, and Done.

Tasks

Tasks are the building blocks of your board. Each task supports:

  • Title & Description — markdown-supported description for detailed specs
  • Assignee — assign to any team member (author + collaborators)
  • Labels — colored labels for categorization (per-idea, 10 colors)
  • Due Date — track deadlines with visual overdue/upcoming indicators
  • Checklists — break tasks into subtasks with progress tracking
  • Comments — discuss tasks with your team, with @mention support
  • File Attachments — upload images, documents, and other files (up to 10MB each)
  • Activity Log — full history of all changes to the task

Drag & Drop

Move tasks between columns by dragging and dropping. The board uses optimistic updates — changes appear instantly while syncing in the background.

  • Drag tasks between columns to update their status
  • Reorder tasks within a column
  • Reorder columns by dragging the column header
  • Works on both desktop (mouse) and mobile (touch)

Columns

Customize your workflow by adding, renaming, or reordering columns.

  • Add new columns with the + button
  • Rename columns by clicking the edit icon in the header
  • Mark any column as a Done column — tasks in done columns are excluded from dashboard task counts
  • Delete columns (tasks in the column are also deleted)

Search & Filters

Use the board toolbar to find specific tasks:

  • Search by task title
  • Filter by assignee
  • Filter by label
  • Filter by due date (overdue, due soon)
  • Toggle visibility of archived tasks

Bulk Import

Migrate tasks from other tools or quickly add many tasks at once. The import dialog supports three formats:

  • CSV — with auto-mapping of column headers
  • JSON — Trello export format or custom JSON
  • Bulk Text — paste a list of task titles, one per line

Tip: CSV import auto-maps column names case-insensitively and lets you map columns to existing board columns or create new ones. Up to 500 tasks per import.

Real-time Sync

All board changes are synced in real-time via Supabase Realtime. If a collaborator moves a task or adds a comment, you'll see the update immediately without refreshing.
