Board overview
Ideafy's board is a seven-column kanban. Six columns are part of the normal lifecycle; the seventh (Withdrawn) is a terminal archive for work you decided not to ship.
Columns
| # | Column | Internal key | What lives here |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ideation | ideation | Raw ideas, rough notes, things you want to think about before committing to scope |
| 2 | Backlog | backlog | Scoped work that's ready to be picked up. The queue |
| 3 | Bugs | bugs | Defects. Treated as a separate queue so they don't compete with feature work |
| 4 | In Progress | progress | Actively being worked on — human or AI |
| 5 | Human Test | test | Implementation is done; a human needs to verify acceptance criteria. Often the last column a non-technical teammate drives — see Tests tab |
| 6 | Completed | completed | Shipped / verified. Filtered by date (see below) |
| 7 | Withdrawn | withdrawn | Archived without shipping |
Cards move left-to-right as a rule, but drag-and-drop lets you override the flow when reality demands it.
Sort order inside a column
- Standard columns — priority (high → low), then complexity (low → high). High-priority, low-effort work rises.
- Human Test — most recently updated first, so whatever just landed for testing is at the top.
- Completed — most recent
completedAtfirst.
Completed filter
The Completed column has its own dropdown in the header:
- Today
- Yesterday
- This Week
- All
The filter looks at completedAt; if a card was moved to Completed before that field existed, it falls back to updatedAt.
Empty state
An empty column shows "No tasks". While you're dragging a card, any column you hover becomes "Drop here" with a highlighted background — the UI telegraphs the drop zone so you don't have to aim.
Right-click context menu
Every card exposes a right-click menu with the fastest actions that don't need the modal:
- Open Details — opens the card modal
- Change Status — submenu to move the card to any column (the current column is disabled)
- Export as Markdown — downloads the card as a
.mdfile - Send to Pool — pushes the card to the team pool (see Pool mechanics). Hidden when Supabase isn't configured or no team is active
- Delete — removes the card with a confirmation dialog
The menu is disabled while a card is locked (interactive terminal open, or a background AI process running).
