Motivation for the Project

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. While using Kanban plugin the issue was, i wasn’t able to add tasks directly to any markdown file, i was required to use the Kanabn Board only to add/edit my tasks, and it use to keep all this tasks in a single markdown file. I immediately switched to the CardBoard plugin after I came across it. 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 KanBan board. I hope I am able to give the best of all this three plugins into one, and will be improving this further.
