How Does it work

This plugin scans tasks from all markdown files from your whole vault and show them on a Kanban type board.
You can also apply scan filters to exclude certain files or to only scan certain files to look for tasks.
You can edit the task directly from the Task Board, without opening the Markdown file.
Add task to currently opened files using a pop-up window.

Motivation and Vision

I always used the Kanban Plugin to manage my tasks. And it use to work nice for me with all the amazing features. But as soon as I came across the CardBoard plugin everything changed. The idea of adding tasks anywhere in your vault and managing them from a single board amazed me. I immediately switched to the CardBoard plugin after I used it for a while. But after using it for few days, i realized there are few important features this plugin is lacking and hence I went to first contribute to the main project, but I wasn’t familiar with the elm files, hence decided to start my own plugin.

While development I took inspirations from CardBoard and Kanban plugin as well as many feature ideas from GitHub project planning KanBan board. I hope I am able to give the best of all this three plugins into one, and will be improving this further.

Support

A great deal of effort has gone into bringing this idea to life. While the plugin was originally created for my personal use, I genuinely believed it could help others streamline their task management and project handling.
