🧠 Deck Feature Brainstorming

• Guided introductions
  • Short introduction screen to show how to create simple boards or cards
  • Example board populated with cards that give a user an idea how to do things
• Column sorting
  • e.g. sort a column by cards due and move them all to the top or only display those ones
• Proper two-way synchronization between Deck and CalDAV clients
  • Currently your cards are synced to CalDAV, but any changes to them made by the CalDAV client does not sync them to Nextcloud in return
• Sharing cards to Talk rooms
  • Talk rooms are "entities" with which you can share things, so why not Deck cards and/or boards
• Open edit card modal upon creating a card
  • Right now it just allows you to quickly type in a title and you have to manually edit it further
• Better link previews and embeds for other integrations/apps (GitHub, etc.)
  • This is half-implemented with some work by Julius with link previews
• More two-way integration with other apps like files (e.g. create a card from this file) rather than just linking a file to a card directly via attachments
  • e.g. create a card from a file or other object directly
• Improved search functionality
  • Deck currently has search but it seems to be broken
• Card metadata/custom fields
  • Being able to define "metadata" or "custom fields" e.g. true/false values, star ratings, progress bars, etc.
  • Being able to filter by these
  • Very similar to how Tables has different field types
  • Can help determine remaining effort for tasks and helps with task tracking
  • These could be aggregated and their totals calculated for e.g. a project manager to estimate effort left for tasks
• Cards with parent-child relationships
  • e.g. card has a sub-card
• More ability to structure boards
  • We have vertical dividers to separate columns, but horizontal dividers might be nice to as sort of "swim lanes" to help further organize cards
• Actions like when you move a card to another column an action happens to it e.g. marks the card as "done" automatically
  • User can define actions to be triggered when a card is moved to another column
  • e.g. moving a card to a certain column would mark it as "done"
  • Can also happen with automatically marking deadlines as completed (maybe elsewhere in Nextcloud too?)
• Better notifications
  • Notification when someone tags you on/assigns you on a card
  • Notification improvements in general
• Tag users via @-mentions
• Dragging a card and dropping it could make it more obvious where the card landed if you have many cards in a column
• Color-coding members on a deck so you can identify their color on cards in a deck (card highlighting for users)
  • or highlighting cards you were tagged/mentioned in
• Recurring cards
