Canonical version: Kanban Action Planner 1.1.0 - timeline mode.

I just shipped version 1.1.0 of the Kanban Action Planner plugin. It adds board, calendar, and now timeline views to Obsidian Bases, all driven by your own note properties.

The headline of this release is timeline mode. It is a Gantt-style view that places each card by its start date plus an estimate in days, so a board already set up for the calendar gets a working timeline with zero configuration. You get milestone diamonds, a today line, a per-row deadline line, and you can drag a bar to move it or resize its edges to change the estimate, with the exact date shown live while you drag.

The other big improvement is grouped navigation. The Unplanned panel now groups cards by note type, then by status, so a large backlog stays easy to scan and schedule in both calendar and timeline modes.

Also in 1.1.0:

  • Timeline rows group by note type on mixed boards, with per-type show/hide.
  • The calendar scheduling panel groups by note type and status too.
  • Drag timeline milestones to another day.
  • Send a card straight to the top or bottom of its column from the card menu.
  • Cleaner calendar bars and estimate spans.

Everything still lives in your notes. Status, order, dates, relationships, and grouping are all written back to your frontmatter, so your board is just your notes.
