Features πŸ†•

🧼 List Columns:

This is probably the biggest feature we've built since we started Taggle back in 2020. Taggle now offers a new Board Element called List Columns. Right now, they can only be as wide as a single card, but they are automatically sorted! What does this mean?
If you drag a card into a column it will automatically be re-sorted. If you remove a card from a column, all other elements will fill up the columns space and the column will resize itself. You probably know this behavior from other tools :)


Bugfixes & Improvements 🐞

  • We've made some improvements on the /myboards page and it should be muuuch faster now

πŸ”” Notifications

We enhanced the Notifications we released last month! You can now see the number of notifications as a number in the small circle next to the card

You can now change the color of a swimlane in the edit menu of the swimlane additionally to the context menu!
