Habitica: feature spike: kanban view.

[awitherow]

I would like to have a kanban view within habitica, specifically for my todo list, potentially also within dailies, as well as habits.

Theoretically speaking on an implementation idea now...

1. Object todo would have a new key value pair, something like status. It could be one of three string types: 'inbox', 'next', 'active', 'done'.

2. Todo Listvisual column would have an extra icon-button next to the help view. Clicking it would open a 'kanban' view where the user could manage the tickets between columns provided ('inbox', 'next', 'active', 'done').

3. Only todos (also potentially dailies, and habits) with the tag of 'active' applied would do damage if not complete, but extra damage if not complete (to reinforce the concept of not taking on too many things at a time).

If anyone would like to pair with me on such a concept and integrate it into the application via PR, let me know! Would like to do this lean and beautiful.

This should probably be moved to the Trello Board, where new features are discussed. The GitHub Issues area is generally for bug fixes and features that have been approved by the mods/admins.

@MathWhiz great! Not clear to me how to add it as a ticket myself... I have added it as a feature improvement idea to https://trello.com/c/exaF7GiC/135-to-dos-v2-frozen-to-do-attack-to-do

@awitherow Thanks! That's a good card for it.

We're part way through a project to improve the website so possible enhancements like this could be considered after that's finished.

@Alys can you point me in the direction of some tickets I could help out with to speed up the potential future? :) 👍

Not @Alys, but here are some tips on how to search the Issues page:

• Issues that have the "status: issue: help welcome now" label have been "accepted" for work
• Issues with the "status: issue: in progress" label have had a Habitican volunteer to work on it at some point
• Issues with the "status: issue: on hold" label are on hold until a future date (e.g. the website redesign)

Aside from these mutually exclusive labels, a couple other ones that may be useful are:

• type: entry level coding
• type: medium level coding

You can also combine labels in your search, such as:

• status: issue: help welcome now + type: entry level coding
• status: issue: help welcome now + type: medium level coding
