Swimlanes are of course useful, but we have something a little different on the list which (at least in my opinion) is much more easy to use. I used swimlanes for years in other tools and they only made me scrollsick

I'm sorry for resurrecting a really old issue, but could you expand on this? What feature were you thinking of that you think is better then swimlanes? Was it implemented?

@john8329 commented on GitHub:

A benefit of swimlanes is they avoid repeating the columns for each section, and even though there's scrolling, they help prioritize and separate issues better than separate views. WeKan, despite being confusing as hell, has a nice implementation of them.
Meanwhile, as a workaround, I'm using labels and filtering. This made us reorganize a bit, but tbh it's not a bad thing.

Thanks for making this app btw.
