Feature Request: Archive notes/lists/boards

[g19fanatic]

Right now, items (notes/lists/boards) can either exist or not. I find it very useful to archive items (could just make them hidden) when I'm done with them instead of just removing them. This allows me to go through and look at past things if I wanted to.

Very good suggestion, thanks. I found myself in the need of the same and more than one occasion. I was also thinking that it should be possible to do per-list archives as well, i.e. notes, lists and boards should be archive-able.

Edit - I just can't read, can I? It says that right in the ticket title - "Archive notes/lists/boards" :)

+1! Nullboard is exactly what I want for tracking tasks as a solo dev. The only feature I'd like to see added is some kind of ability to archive cards instead of deleting them. For my particular use case I move cards into a DONE list when they're done, and then after each release I like to archive every card.

I don't know what kind of interface for this would be most appropriate for the project, given the minimalism, but I wouldn't mind if it just appended the archived tasks to a text file instead of having to adapt the interface to fit a potentially infinite number of archived cards.

+1 too, I hope to see something like an option that auto archives cards after it has been moved into a column for >7/14/21/28 days and a toggle to see all the archived cards in that column.

Appreciate this is quite an old thread, but for what it's worth I also wanted to be able to do this, sharing in case the info helps anyone else. I might look at creating a PR, just need to decouple some other changes I made.

• I added a text button 'A' on the notes (where the raw note and other buttons are) which when clicked will archive the note.
• This adds the 'archived' class to a note which sets display: none (and font-style: italic so when the archive is shown it is clear which notes are archived).
• I also added a show-archive class which displays the note again (while maintaining it's status of being archived). There may be a better way of doing this.
• In the board title I added 'Show Archive' which toggles the show-archive class. This then becomes 'Hide Archive' and you can toggle back.

There is a minor cosmetic problem, where archived notes are still there but hidden, and if at the bottom of a list the last visible note will spill over the grey list background. I'm sure some tweaking of the css will sort this but I just live with it.
