Ideas for Issue Boards around parity with Trello
@victorwu - this is an issue that I discussed at Summit with @JobV (and I think you and I may have briefly chatted about it in a coffee call). I was - in my previous life - a big-time Trello user and made the switch to Issue Boards as I was coming onto GitLab. Since then I’ve been keeping a big list of usability differences that I’ve actually missed as a long time Trello user in switching to Issue Boards.
As such, and per my conversation with Job about our desires to not copy necessarily but to meet or exceed the capabilities and user experience of Trello, you can find my list below. I think most are pretty self-explanatory but if any of them are not, please let me know. I’m also happy to fill out individual feature proposals for each - but I chose to make this issue first so that any that don’t fit into our vision we can just throw out straight away.
Wherever possible, I've (tried) to see if such an issue already existed and link it here. As such feel free to take over this issue as a [meta]
style issue if you'd like.

Editing issues on the board
This is more of a question that I think we just need to choose a path on. Its an issue that comes up a lot: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/24656, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/36744, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30114. So we should maybe choose a path (either we’re done with the sidebar or one day we might do Trello-like card editing) and then consolidate those issues.
