Less precision required when moving cards
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With fast and not entirely precise moves, sometimes the card fails to move. The user finds out only after the failed attempt and has to try again.
Describe the solution you'd like
-
Allow cards to be moved between columns even if it was dropped on the column name or add cart button. This will enhance the user experience by requiring less precision movements.
-
In addition, when the requirements for moving a card to a new column are met, the outline of the card being moved should appear where it will be inserted. Now the user only gets feedback when the card is dropped. If the move is not quite accurate, the card returns to its previous place, which is not very convenient and can be confusing if you don't notice it right away. Adding this would give clear feedback as to the action that will be performed when the card being moved is dropped by user.
Since moving cards is a key function of this program, I think it should be as smooth and natural as possible.
Thanks for your suggestions. I am fully aware that dragging cards is essential and I have also noticed from my own usage that sometimes it's not optimal.
The outline for where cards will be placed is something I've wanted to implement for a while, but I need to look into the technical details of how it works. Regarding the drop outside the actual area where the cards go, I'm unsure whether this is possible with the underlying tech which is a bit limiting.
I'm glad you have this in mind. I hope you can find some way to extend the drop area to the entire column (maybe some sort of wrapping element?). In practical use, I personally tend to drop the items I want at the top of the list onto the column title bar and the items I want at the bottom of the list onto the add card button. This seems natural and I do it subconsciously and unfortunately end up needing a second approach with more attention to precision.
I'd also find it useful to have small "Move Left" and "Move Right" buttons on each card (or in the context menu).
That would make it possible to reposition cards between columns without relying on drag-and-drop precision, which can be error-prone — especially when working quickly or on touch devices.
