Amplenote does not support Kanban Boards directly, however we can craft something that works just like Kanban and lets you have a quick overview of your tasks ✔️.

Here is a preview of the end result:

Emulating a Kanban Board in Amplenote with configurable states; tasks can be quickly drag-and-dropped to a new state.

linkStep #1: Create your task states

For each state we want our task to transition through, we want to create a dedicated note. Later on in Tasks Mode, in order to move a task to a new state we can simply drag-and-drop it from one note to the other.

In this example we will create 3 basic "columns" for our Kanban: NEW, IN PROGRESS and DONE, but you can create as many as you wish.

linkStep 1.1: Title your state-notes

Simply create a note for each of your states and make sure to title them in a similar fashion to this:

Make sure to add numbers to the beginning of each note title, in the order you want your columns to appear (later on we will be sorting the source notes by title).

linkStep 1.2: Tag your state-notes

Tag each of the newly created notes with todo/kanban or something similar (and preferably unused). This allows us to quickly find only tasks that are part of this Kanban Board and filter out the rest.

linkStep 1.3: Populate with tasks

Make sure to add at least one task to each state, because notes with no tasks don't show up in Tasks view.
