kanban's Issues

Signup

We need to build signup functionality.

Multiple assignees per card

Right now only one user can be assigned to a card at once. When I drag a user's avatar to a card it automatically replaces the previously assigned user. It'd be nice if one card could be assigned to multiple users.

rewrite frontend in ember.js

branch: https://github.com/somlor/kanban/tree/ember.js-rewrite

Multiple boards per user

Right now there is only one board per user. It'd be nice to be able to create multiple boards. Then I could invite some users to share one board with me and keep other boards private.

Request for Assistance: Moving card to empty list in ember-cli branch generates dup card

Please see this pull request here:
#23

When I drag a card to an empty list, a duplicate card is generated. Any help appreciated.

pluggable authentication mechanism

Hi @somlor ,

I became interested in this quite recently, and its great work so far! I have a need to integrate it into LDAP, so I was thinking of taking a fork, and changing the authentication mechanism to use devise which can be plugged in LDAP if necessary. Or alternatively, I could require a suitable LDAP gem, and integrate it manually. Do you have a preferred approach and would you accept a PR with this functionality? Thanks

Bug: Cannot add board member

Add member functionality on board does not work. It makes the whole page refreshed instead.

Creators Name is hard coded in comment template

The comment template on a card has the name "Sean Omlor" hard coded in the view. You can see it here: https://github.com/somlor/kanban/blob/master/app/assets/templates/cards/show.jst.ejs#L36

Are you open to taking PRs for fixes on this?

How do I use it

Add a progress-bar

The possibility to add a progress bar (0% to 100%) in the billet/story description, and make it visible under the billet/story title on the overall board view would be a nice feature.

Bug: Card not saved to newly created list

If you create a new list and try to add a card right away, it does not work. I checked console and it gets null for list. After you refresh, it works fine as list id is there.

Thanks

Add a voting-system

A voting-system as in Trello would be nice.

Allow markdown language for descriptions/commentaries

The possibility to write billet/story description or a billet commentary in markdown language would be nice.

Bug when adding members to a board?

I'm not able to add a new member to a board. A bug to look into?

Question - how to run the app without database.yml?

Thanks for your help with clarification on how to start up the app.

Export to xls/xlsx

It would be nice to have a little export function for the boards maybe using something like axlsx

add/delete boards

We need to create the functionality for adding a new board.

Add better horizontal scrolling

When you have a lot of columns on your board, you have to horizontally scroll to reach them.
Currently you achieve this by moving your mouse pointer to the borders of the window (it's the default browser comportment). It's really not convenient.

A better way would be to allow a panning comportment to scroll horizontally, as it is the case in Trello : you would click-hold and drag your mouse anywhere on the board to scroll your board horizontally.
