## What it is
An Obsidian plugin that lets users create Kanban boards backed by plain markdown files. Cards and lists are stored as markdown, keeping board data portable within the Obsidian vault.

## Use cases
- manage tasks as kanban boards inside Obsidian
- track project workflows in markdown notes
- organize notes into columns and drag cards between lists
- keep task boards version-controlled as plain text
- plan writing or research projects in a vault

## When to choose
- you already use Obsidian and want kanban without leaving your vault
- you want task boards stored as portable markdown files
- you prefer plain-text, git-friendly task management

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone kanban app outside Obsidian
- you need real-time multi-user collaboration on boards
- you want rich integrations with external project trackers

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, markdown, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
