What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • The WIP-limit pill on the in-progress column is the detail that makes a board look real, and it costs one token swap on the existing count pill.
  • Every card is a two-row flex: title, then a metadata row with label, estimate and assignee. Repeating that shape is what makes a board scannable at a glance.
  • Product upgrade: bare task strings became sprint tickets with labels, point estimates and assignee avatars, the header gained a stacked avatar group, and done cards keep readable ink with a strike rather than fading to 55% opacity.

How this works

Implicit columns are the trick. Auto-flow mints an identically sized column for every child, which is what makes a board with an unknown list count possible without JavaScript.

Proximity, not mandatory. Mandatory snapping fights a user who wants to rest between two columns; proximity settles when they are close and otherwise leaves them alone.

Make it yours

  • Column width lives in one clamp().
  • Cap the board height anywhere; the stacks inherit and scroll internally.
  • Add a ghost 'new list' column that is just a button — auto-flow places it like any other.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • overscroll-x-contain is load-bearing: without it a swipe past the last column triggers browser back-navigation.
  • The inner stack needs minmax(0,1fr), not 1fr.
  • Only use cursor-grab if drag is actually wired; here the cards are links, so they use a pointer.
