YesYouKan - Kanban plugin for Joplin

Eduardo:

However, the Kanban card in fact is a title within the same note

In a future version I plan to add support for using an existing note as a card.

t0dd:

Publish a CSS chart of elements for it so we can customize the look and feel. The first kanban card/stanza I implemented has a link. In dark mode, the link is this dark blue that renders it nearly unreadable. Yes, I can use developer mode to introspect and all that, but … PITA. And maybe just improve the default CSS? (Mind you, my CSS is so customized, maybe I hosed it up somehow.)

I'm not sure I would publish a chart of elements, unless there's really a strong interest for it. In the meantime, one option is to check the plugin CSS file, which contains all the elements: plugin-yesyoukan/src/style/main.css at master · joplin/plugin-yesyoukan · GitHub (In there, a "stack" is basically a column)

t0dd:

Need a means to select a pile of notes and to-dos and add them to the Kanban.

Yes I'll add support for something like this. I'm still not sure what form it will take - I think I'd still want a central Markdown note that represent a board, and the linked notes would be cards.

t0dd:

P.S. An aside: Laurent, I was in London a few weeks ago. I was hoping to carve out time to invite you to go grab a beer but just couldn't swing it. Family obligations and all that. Cheers to you, though. -t

No problem, and hopefully some other times then!

Bug!

Changes made via the KanBan interface itself are not saving.

Reordering is not saved

Change the order of cards on a board by dragging them up or down
You'll notice the associated "note" changes accordingly
Switch to another note
Come back … the reordering is reverted

New card just disappears

Create a new card
"Save" it with by clicking the check mark
Click away to another note
Come back … that card has vanished

External editor notices no change to the associated note

Open your KanBan note
Hit the external editor button
Change the KanBan boards using the KanBan board interface directly
Notice the associated note in the Joplin interface appears to change
Notice the lack of notice by the external editor that the associated note has changed

I.e. The KanBan board is not being saved to disk when you change it with the interface.

Thanks for the bug reports, I've added them here: Issues · joplin/plugin-yesyoukan · GitHub

laurent · 2024-10-13T18:03:36.813Z

Version 1.0.4 is now available. However please note that it requires version 3.1 of Joplin (which will be available soon and is available in prerelease)

v1.0.4

Fixed horizontal scrolling
Fixes #1: Display list bullets and numbers in cards
Added settings for stack width and confirm key behaviour

ymzk64 · 2024-10-15T12:33:33.187Z

can support H3 or more?
or max only H2?

laurent · 2024-10-15T12:41:06.591Z

H1 is a stack and H2 is a card. I guess anything above this would be considered part of the card. Do you have any specific use case in mind?

ymzk64 · 2024-10-16T13:11:03.669Z

Example

# Todo
 
## Setup Storage
 
### Network
- [ ] request IP
- [ ] setting IP
 
### OS
- [ ] setting snmp
    - [ ] setting community string
    - [ ] setting ip address
- [ ] add to monitor server
- [ ] setting mail
 
kanban-settings
# Do not remove this block

render is

laurent · 2024-10-16T16:05:25.139Z

Looks like it's working as expected? (the headers at least) Or do you mean the checkboxes are the problem?

ymzk64 · 2024-10-17T11:23:20.834Z

Sorry, I didn't make it clear yesterday
I used indentation and the checkbox didn't work
I personally put many items in Todo, and each item may have more sub-items, so I raised this question.

This looks amazing, but I can't install it. I have the latest macOS version of Joplin installed (3.0.15) but YesYouKan has a minimum version of 3.1.8. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious...

dpoulton · 2024-10-24T11:00:40.383Z

If it says a minimum of v3.1.8 it would seem that the plugin has been developed for what is currently the pre-release / release candidate version of Joplin (v3.1.x). The pre-releases are available here on GitHub. At the time of writing the most recent pre-release is v3.1.20.

The v3.1.x version of Joplin is soon to become a full release (actually it is a bit overdue). When that happens the clients will then start notifying users that there is an update.

benjp · 2024-10-24T11:09:18.198Z

Thanks!

Edit: Well, that didn't go as well as I expected. I installed the plugin, re-launched Joplin, and the contents of my last open note (which is my primary to-do list...) was replaced with the kanban settings block.

ymzk64 · 2024-10-25T03:44:56.423Z

When I clicked "Create Kanban Board" in Tools (created for the second time and in a different notebook), one of the notes was eaten. Is this the same for you?
I am currently testing that as long as I write the following syntax to generate Kanban, it seems that I will not encounter any problems.

kanban-settings
Do not remove this block

t0dd · 2024-10-27T16:49:23.553Z

TURN OFF YesYouKan NOW!

… until @laurent says it is safe to go back in the water.

See also: YesYouKan in Joplin 3.1.20 nuked a non-kanban note, leaving behind YesYouKan stub inside

UPDATE: Laurent responded in that discussion. He has removed it from the repo for now, fixed it, but it will not be ready for us to use until the next release of Joplin.

laurent · 2024-10-30T11:25:57.465Z

Yes, very sorry about that. Eventually I ended up losing a note too to this bug - it seems to happen when the app is first opened, but that should definitely be fixed from the next release

Can you add an option as edit and delete for every card where can add recurrence time , end date, tags ?
Can you add the option of change color of the card depends of big proyect that belongs, or a priority ?
it will be great to have notes as card becouse the alarm can be enable. ( I suposse that it´s imposible to add alarm to a card if is not a note )
By the way the tab is not working in title i supose that its imposible to add by other way, isn´t it?
I ask it to have the emojis of priority more clear and separate.
I see that with 3.1.20 the problem at first look has disapear, good practice for recover notes ( note - note properties - previus version and choose one that have all data )
Do you have plan to be active in mobile, i see now as incompatible and the other kanban proyect ( the discontinued one ) that previously was working on mobile now has error when trying to move from a colum to other an cards disappear.

In any case thanks for your work.

v1.0.7 is now out and should be much more stable, but note that it requires Joplin v3.2 (which is currently in pre-release). Several of the changes that were requested here and on the repo have also been implemented:

v1.0.7

Allow running the Kanban board as an alternative editor
Fixed logic of hidding/showing the panel while browsing notes
Fixed styling
Allow pressing the tab key on the mini-note editor
Support checkboxes in kanban board

ymzk64 · 2024-11-11T14:13:57.533Z

I created a Kanban note and another ordinary note that was not Kanban. When I clicked on the Kanban note to open it in a new window, the new window still had the UI designed by Kanban (because there is an eye image in the upper right corner. It indicates that it can switch to Kanban's UI mode), but if my main Joplin switches to a note that is not Kanban, the sub-window will be forced to switch to Markdown editing mode, not Kanban mode, and the eye in the upper right corner The picture view will also disappear, and the sub-window will not restore the Kanban UI until I select any Kanban note in the main window.

laurent · 2024-11-11T14:43:49.508Z

Thanks for the report, I created this issue to track this:
