Lists – Moving Items From One List to Another

It’s been on my todo list forever — cleaning up the ability to drag a todo from one list to another. In the past, it’s somewhat worked, but wasn’t very reliable, and the user experience was honestly pretty terrible.

But I’ve been wanting to use lists in ways there dragging things around would be really beneficial. Perhaps the most obvious application is creating a bit of a Kanban board, where I can easily slide things to a “Done” list, but even in my everyday planning, where I have multiple lists for various clients, it would be nice to drag the items I want to work on for any given day onto a todo list that I generally have for that current week.

So, I finally took on this little task, and so far I’m not sure how I ever functioned without it. I now drag any of my larger tasks to a “done” list as I complete items, and having this nice, concise listing of all the larger projects that I’ve completed, alone has been worth the time spent making this update (I feel so productive!).

I have additional updates I’m planning on making to make this functionality even more useful (syncing between lists!), and a few spinoff projects that may now be possible as a result of this change.
