Kanbanchi users no longer need to choose between reviewing task details and participating in comment threads. Our latest update introduces a two-column card view, designed to streamline collaboration and minimize context switching. Inspired by user feedback and modern UI trends, this feature addresses the #1 pain point reported by teams: time wasted scrolling through lengthy comment sections.

Say Goodbye to Scrolling Fatigue: Introducing the Two-Column Card View

Why This Matters for Your Workflow or The Problem with Single-Column Layouts

In traditional single-column mode, users spend an average of 12 seconds per interaction scrolling to locate comments or reference task details. This fragmentation disrupts focus and slows decision-making, particularly for complex tasks with multiple stakeholders.

The Two-Column Advantage

  • Parallel Visibility: Task details (left) and comments (right) display simultaneously, eliminating 94% of vertical scrolling.

  • Real-Time Context: Reference attachments, due dates, or sub-tasks while replying to comments.

  • Responsive Design: Automatically adjusts for screen sizes, prioritizing comments on mobile while retaining horizontal scroll for details.

How to Activate the Two-Column View

  1. Open any card on your Kanban, Gantt, or Task List view.

  2. Click the column switcher icon in the top-right corner. The column switcher resembles two columns for recognition.

  3. Switch between modes based on your needs.

Check out the complete guide on this new feature here: How to use Kanbanchi’s two-column card view for faster task management?

Real-World Use Cases

Scenario 1: Design Sprint Coordination

Marketing team lead Maria:
“During our website redesign sprint, the two-column view let me check mockup attachments while answering developer questions—no more scrolling up and down!”

Scenario 2: Remote Agile Retrospectives

Scrum master Liam:
“We now run retros directly in Kanbanchi. The split view keeps action items visible as we discuss them, reducing follow-up confusion.”
