The board became a kanban board

GitGumbo started life as a list of stale merge requests. It now draws a board.

Issues render as cards in columns, and the columns are built from your project's existing labels. We read the board configuration your project already has rather than asking you to re-describe your workflow to another tool — if your team has agreed that status::in-review means in review, that agreement is the configuration, and duplicating it here would only give the two copies a chance to disagree.

Also in this release:

  • Collapsible columns, because a board with nine stages does not fit on a laptop and the two you are not working in today do not need the width.
  • Column labels styled as the provider's own coloured badges, so a label looks the same here as it does where you set it.
  • Filtering across the board.
  • Columns fill the full height of the viewport rather than stopping at an arbitrary cap, which sounds like a detail and is the difference between scrolling one thing and scrolling two.
