Hey everyone! I’m building a productivity app and trying to figure out the best way to add Kanban boards. Would love your thoughts on a few questions.

Quick context: My app currently has categories, tags, and different task views (daily/weekly). You can check it out here if interested.

Here’s what I’m wrestling with:

1. Should Kanban be its own separate “Projects” feature, or should users be able to switch any category view into a Kanban view? I’m leaning toward allowing both but wondering if that’s overkill.

2. For project-specific Kanban boards, should tasks be isolated to just that project? Meaning they won’t show up in your daily/weekly views. My thinking is this keeps things clean for project-specific work.

3. What about importing tasks? I’m considering letting users pull in tasks based on categories/tags (like importing all “Bug” tagged tasks from the “App Development” category into a project board).

4. Here’s the tricky one: How should Kanban states (Todo/In-Progress/Done) work with tags? Option A is keeping them separate, Option B is linking them to tags (so if you mark something “In-Progress” in your daily view, it moves to that column in Kanban). Option B seems more flexible but might mess with how people use tags.

5. Another idea: What if you could choose to show specific Kanban columns in your Today view? Like showing all “In-Progress” tasks from all your project boards in one place.

Here’s what my current category view looks like for reference: screenshot

Would really appreciate any thoughts or experiences with similar setups! Trying to make this intuitive without overcomplicating things.
