Thanks Read that makes sense. Some more Ideas,
It could be an advantage to have a more obvious "list drop zone" so that until people learn that dropping onto the >> and << symbols is the list management technique. Perhaps you could hide the following behind a matching area called Display settings Then add another area as a drop list zone, Tiddlers dropped there become lists (at the end of the existing lists) Also the above display settings could have a toggle to display the board "menu area" either above or below the lists and cards. Dont feel obliged to replay. Are you in my Sydney Time zone?
