Feature Idea: Bookmark or favorites boards

[coltoneshaw]

Summary

Right now I'm testing using a personal Board for my daily tasks and such. What I'm finding is that I have to keep reopening that board multiple times a day either through search or DM > Boards. This adds a few more steps to the process that what is ideal. It would be awesome to be able to open a specific tab on the desktop app for a board, or to bookmark the board

How important this is to me and why

Importance: High

Use cases:

1. This would allow you to use boards and not have to constantly search for the specific channel, then open the board. This gets especially cumbersome if you're working on boards a lot.
2. Overall reduces number of clicks / interactions to your important content

Additional context/similar features

Something like "Recent boards" and showing the last 5-10 you viewed would be another huge quality of life improvement.

This should be addressed with the permission and nav changes, though I believe favorites may come a bit later, so keeping this open for now. cc @asaadmahmood, @wuwinson.

That's correct @chenilim. The new permission and nav changes will allow users to assign boards to categories. Favorites will be coming out a bit later, but we'll support custom categories in Phase 1, so the workaround could be naming a custom category as "Favorites" or something else that appears on top of the LHS.
