Kanban Board with checkbox support
planned

- Enable a Kanban board view where each card represents a task and supports sub tasks. Users should be able to add, edit, and mark task as complete directly within the card. Checklist completion should contribute to overall task progress.
- Implement Tabbed Interface for Seamless Switching Between Multiple Kanban Boards
- Users can toggle "Swimlanes" on the Kanban board view. This feature allows users to define horizontal rows based on existing fields, such as Priority, Assignee, or Label. Dragging a card from one swimlane to another automatically updates the underlying field (e.g., moving a card from the "Standard" row to the "Urgent" row updates its Priority to "Urgent"). Additionally, swimlanes are collapsible, allowing users to hide sections that are not currently in focus.
- Add WIP limit display: e.g., "Task (5)" shows as (0/5). When exceeded (e.g., 6/5), highlight in red.
- Add date support

+1. My use case: plans, sprints and tech-debt notes whose status is written by command-line tools. What I'd need from the board:
Group by any frontmatter property (usually status) through ADR 0144's presentation config.
Column order taken from the type's status values, not alphabetical.
An option to turn off drag-to-move, because other tools own status in my vaults.
Archived notes hidden by default, with a toggle to show them.

+1 here, in the world of Kanban, multi-wimming lanes is also an option to be considered. Often, this can solve many combit problems.

I'd argue this could be achieved in various iterations. Imho a first Board view (Kanban view) is mostly just a UI thing now, as the properties (frontmatter) of documents in Tolaria already support setting a status (e. g. Active, Done, or Blocked).
