Snapping cards back into lists because you didn't move them far enough, and passing cards between lists, uses transition animations to make these interactions easier to visually follow

I worked with the original Trello team and I've used every kanban-ish tool that came after, and my goal is to make the best feeling List.
In a big company, I wouldn't be able to put so much effort into details like this, but I guess that's what makes indie software different.

I can now drag cards into lists and they get placed in the right order.
(I'm using a cool technique/lib called fractional-indexing for list ordering, so I shouldn't have to worry about periodically re-balancing list positions)

I accidentally upgraded my Mac to Tahoe, so I thought I’d try it for a couple weeks and then decide whether to go through to annoyance of downgrading.
My long-term thoughts are .. it’s .. okay. certainly not better - but also not the discordant mess I was expecting

I've been using Consolas as my monospace programming font for over a decade, but curious about whether there's anything better now. Any modern recommendations? (Keep in mind that I'm not a fan of ligatures for coding)

My Long, Ongoing, Journey Making Kinopio | CUSEC 2026
A talk I gave in Montreal to 200~ engineering students about how I ended up earning a living (sorta-kinda) by writing and marketing Kinopio.

just like how you can snap cards into boxes, you'll be able to snap cards together to create lists from them. If the card has a color then the snap guide will use that, otherwise the snap guide will use your user color (green in this case)

Lists can now be collapsed, and resized. Not sure if collapsing/expanding should be animated or stay instant. The list content area is also now rendered below the connection lines.

Indie devs don't have multimillion dollar marketing budgets, or the benefit of every news website rushing to post articles on every update
The best way to support your favorite indie apps- besides paying for them 😄- is to leave reviews, and publicly share what you love about them~

like boxes, lists are divided into two parts .list-info, and .list-background.
.list-background needs to be rendered below connection lines (which i'll do later with vue teleport)
sharing this publicly bc it's normal for things to start off looking shitty

The next bulletin email going out to Kinopio users will be a Year-End Strategy Letter. I'm doing something I almost never do, crunching through the many numbers and graphs in my Stripe account. To ease the suspense, I think you'll like what I have to say.
