Kanban Starlane¶
Kanban boards for Obsidian, stored as plain markdown notes.
Kanban Starlane turns a note into a board: lists are headings and cards are task-list items, so the note stays readable and editable without the plugin. Cards carry dates, tags and links to other notes, move between lists and boards by drag and drop, and keep a history of what happened to them. One list can also show the cards of lists on other boards, so you can keep a board per area and still see all your work in one place.
Quick start¶
- Install the plugin from Settings → Community plugins.
- Create a board: right-click a folder and choose New Kanban board.
- Add lists and cards, then drag cards between lists as work moves.
Already using the Kanban plugin?
Both plugins can be installed side by side, and your boards are converted on demand — see Coming from the Kanban plugin.
