v0.48.0· Clean Cards

Added

  • "All tasks" sidebar grouping by status or category. The desktop task workspace navigator previously grouped the All-tasks list only by board column, which answers "what is left to do" but hides the tasks related to the one being edited. A small Status / Category segmented control in the sidebar header switches the grouping. In category mode, tasks are grouped by their leading [CATEGORY] title tag (case-insensitive, uncategorized tasks fall into a trailing group) and sorted by board column order then priority; opening a task auto-expands its own category, collapses the others and scrolls it into view. The mode persists in localStorage (kandown:tasklist-group) and each mode keeps its own collapse state, so the default behavior is unchanged. List rows gain an optional status chip so the status-first sort stays readable inside a category section.

Changed

  • Redesigned kanban cards. Board cards are now clean, rounded chips with a defined bg-card surface, a hairline border, soft resting shadow and a 2px hover lift, replacing the borderless translucent rows (bg-white/25 separated by a border-b) that washed out to a muddy nothing on the light theme, where the board background is already near-white and the default column tint is invisible. Cards are now spaced by margin so they float on the column tint, and selection renders as a primary tint plus a ring instead of a faint wash. The collapsed card stack shares the same surface, border and hover treatment, so individual cards and grouped stacks now speak one visual language.

Fixed

  • Readable category headers on the light theme. Category section headers in the task navigator sidebar and the editor category tag used text-accent, which resolves to a pale lime (72 100% 90%) on the kandown light theme and was effectively invisible on white. They now use the semantic text-accent-foreground pair (dark green on light, light lime on dark, roughly 9:1 contrast), restoring legibility in both the desktop sidebar and the desktop and mobile drawers.
