Feature request: Wish list

[ghost]

... and since I' m already there, I allow myself to add a wish list:

• double click in a list creates new card
• show only cards on board with specified tag(s) (to have a focused view on related cards/tasks)
• move/copy card to other board
• allow to manually sorting boards in the side-bar (group list)
• hide side-bar (already mentioned before)
• to be able to ad tags while crating a card in a list (like by using a #tag in the "note creating" title field)
• webdav sync (nice to have and truly privacy friendly)

Just to let you know. Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback. Here are my thoughts :

• double click in a list creates new card

I feel that '+' button is quick enough for creating a new card. I do plan to implement a feature where a user can create a new card above/below an existing card from the 'right-click/context' menu of that card. Could you tell me more why you need this feature?

• show only cards on board with specified tag(s) (to have a focused view on related cards/tasks)

I have this in my backlog already. Even though this feature looks straight-forward, in reality a little more is involved because of dragging-dropping cards. Also, I've to see how I can integrate it with existing search functionality. So, this feature won't be in the next version but in one of the future versions.

• move/copy card to other board

Yes, it's in my backlog as well. It's a low priority feature but will get there eventually.

• allow to manually sorting boards in the side-bar (group list)

Currently the groups and boards are sorted alphabetically and I personally prefer it this way. This seems like a nice to have. I don't plan to implement this right now, but if there is demand from more users for this feature I'll consider it at that time.

• hide side-bar (already mentioned before)

This feature will be in the next version.

• to be able to ad tags while crating a card in a list (like by using a #tag in the "note creating" title field)

I've taken some time to think about this feature request and unfortunately I've to say no to this one. A card view has a separate space for showing labels and separate field for title. This is done to keep the UI clean and minimal. You can always write those #tags in the title and be able to search those cards easily, but they will not be part of labels.

• webdav sync (nice to have and truly privacy friendly)

Implementing webdav sync would mean re-archictecting the backend to make it sync with webdav server, which is a lot of work. I can understand the need for a custom server, but due to the amount of re-work required to make it work I will not implement this feature unfortunately. But in the future, I will roll out a feature where users will be able to change backup file location which they can sync with their own file server or third party storage services.

Thanks again,
Ash

thank you for the truly detailed reply, everything is perfectly reasonable.

Could you tell me more why you need this feature?

• I prefer to interact with an app as frictionless as possible. The '+' button is certainly fast - nevertheless open the app, double click and fire away feels more intuitive to me than to look for the '+' button, physically navigate with the mouse and click. it's surly a personal preference.

Add label during creating a card in a list / Ad to be able to ad tags while crating a card in a list

• Here I guess my reference to the title was missleading (and maybe additionally my poor grammar.) I love the minimalist approach, thats for sure. For me, when creating a card in the list, it would be helpful to add labels at the same time without having to open the card view. Here is my use-case: while bulk-adding cards, specify the title and adding for each card a proper label (like "urgent" or "deligate"). Later, when I return to a card, I can add descriptions or comments according to the assignments of a card I identify via the labels. Now, every time I create a card, I have to open the card view and add the label, closing the card view, add the next card and so on. It would help to have the same "add label" button from the card view already when creating a card in a list.

@simoeisios

Thank you for the response. It certainly helps me understand your use-case now. I'll take your suggestions into consideration for when I get back to desktop app development.

Thanks again,
Ash

move/copy card to other board

Yes, it's in my backlog as well. It's a low priority feature but will get there eventually.

@ashgrover Can I persuade you to move this to the top of your priority list? Because the app feels broken without it. I can't keep copy/pasting cards to other boards, especially when the card contains a list of subtasks, labels, due dates, description and comments.

EDIT: It seems I missed that this feature was added in Dec due to free plan not receiving updates? I just tried it out and 'move card' works! Thank you!

That's good to hear.
Yes, free plan does not receive automatic updates along with other some features.
