Kanban Plugin

Fantastic plugin! (And CRAZY that it also works on mobile out of the box!)

Here’s a really neat trick: Set up a kanban, then open as Markdown. With OmniFocus open, I can drag projects or tasks into the kanban note in Obsidian, add - [ ] before each item, and then I have a kanban board that links to OmniFocus tasks/projects. So amazing! (And, wow, at least with OmniFocus this also works across macOS/iOS/iPadOS: I can set up a kanban board with OmniFocus tasks, switch to my iPad, open the kanban board there, and the links to the OmniFocus projects work there as well. Game-changer.)

Two things I’ve noticed that might need fixing:

  • Any text added in Markdown that is on a line without - [ ] is deleted upon refactoring with “Open as kanban”.
  • Checking off an item as completed in the non-kanban mode (e.g., via the [ ] button in Preview) is not reflected in the kanban.
