Feature Idea: add an icon when there is a comment or description #4998

Open daladim opened 3 months ago

Summary

Currently, there is no way to know if a card has a "comment" or a "description" without clicking on it. That would be super neat to have an icon that tells me so at first glance (e.g. a three-dots "..." or an ℹ️ on the bottom right of a card). If there is this clue, I know I have to click the card to see the full context. If not, I know clicking it won't give me any additional info.

How important this is to me and why

Importance: High (to me at least :) )

Use cases:

  1. I usually use cards for work-to-do-later. Sometimes the description is enough for me to remember everything two months later. Sometimes I add ideas or URLS in the comments, and I usually have forgotten them two months later. But sometimes I forgot that I even added these details, and I never click the card. So I don't retrieve the hints my past-self left for my current-self, and as a consequence I waste time to re-do what I did previously. If I had a visual clue, that would not happen

Additional context/similar features

I know very little about web development, so I'm afraid I cannot do this myself, even though I think that should not be super complex to do. Unless you have very clear instructions or hints, and I might try to do this myself?

Thanks!
