Agree about waiting for a plugin, I'd really like to work on this when that system is launched. I was thinking about it slightly differently than you – basically creating the columns from tags, allowing any note to be a "kanban card". Gitlab uses that style of tagging / columns and it works well for me.

> Yes, agreed, that’s what I like about the gitlab way. The tags become visual columns, and as you move cards from one column to the next, the tags are automatically swapped. Hard to describe in words, but in the screenshot below, when they move the card, it is removing the tag frontend and adding the tag staging automatically.
