Hello Jef

Thank you for your work and excellent Chrome plugin. I have a question if it's possible to make from Trello a figure like on the image below

Why? First column is a source of projects - I have about 10 cards there. In each card i have links to archived cards, where more links to archived cards and etc. It's an hierarchical structure to keep things in one place. And each swimlane is for project - I'll just grab archived cards from first column and move them by lanes.

How to? May be another symbols? Two vertical if i'd like to keep it full size not in lanes || and one for lane.

Probably it would make possible to use trello in projects by critical chain methodology if there will be possibility to make several full size lists like here

So if it's possible and you'll be able to update the plugin please or not and it's impossible please answer here anyway =)

Hi Ivan! Thanks for the feedback & suggestion!

I spent some time looking into this. I recognize how useful it would be in contexts like yours, but unfortunately, I don't think it's feasible at this time. I am heavily limited by what I can do because I have to accept Trello's HTML as-is, and then attempt to modify it from there. To accomplish what you're asking for, I'd have to switch from my current implementation (which uses CSS flex) to an entirely new one (using CSS grids, plus a lot of JavaScript.) That's not to say that it can't be done, but it would mean rewriting the extension entirely from scratch -- and I just don't have the time & availability to do that. :(
