Wtf does this do

This plugin adds a kanban-style board to Joplin, the open-source note-taking app. If you've used Trello or similar tools where tasks live as cards that you drag across columns like "To Do," "Doing," and "Done," this brings that same visual workflow directly into your Joplin workspace. The plugin is built in TypeScript and draws on a guide for creating kanban boards in React-based interfaces. Beyond that, the README doesn't go into detail about specific features, how notes map to cards or columns, or what customization options exist. The project appears to be in an early stage, the README is essentially the default template generated when someone scaffolds a new Joplin plugin, so the developer hasn't yet documented the specifics of what the kanban board can do. The intended audience is Joplin users who want to manage tasks or projects visually rather than through a flat list of notes. For example, someone planning a writing project could move note-cards from "Ideas" to "First Draft" to "Edited" as they progress. It could also suit someone tracking personal tasks who prefers a board layout over Joplin's standard notebook-and-note structure. One thing worth noting is that this project has very minimal documentation and a small footprint, which suggests it may be experimental or a personal project rather than a polished, production-ready tool. Anyone interested would likely need to install it and explore its capabilities firsthand, since the README doesn't provide a feature list, screenshots, or usage instructions.
