YesYouKan - Kanban plugin for Joplin

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...

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.

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.

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

TURN OFF YesYouKan NOW!

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

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.

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
