What's new in v0.3.0

See the pull request that closes an issue right in your task list, a cleaner row layout, and a new density setting so you can fit the board to your screen.

New

  • Linked-PR indicators. Every issue now shows the pull request(s) development-linked to it — the Closes #123 / sidebar relationship that auto-closes the issue when the PR merges — as a colored PR #N you can click to open. The color tells you the state at a glance: green = open, purple = merged, red = closed, muted = draft. Works on both the Projects and Issues tabs.
  • Milestone pills. If an issue belongs to a milestone, it's shown on the row (click to open the milestone on GitHub).
  • Row density. A new Settings → General → Row density control with three presets:
    • Compact — two lines per row, labels folded inline. The most items on screen.
    • Default — a clean three-line row where the metadata line never wraps and labels get their own line.
    • Comfortable — the same layout with more breathing room and slightly larger text.

Changed

  • Redesigned list rows. Each row now leads with the title and a color-coded status tag, followed by a quiet metadata line (linked PR · repo · number · time) and a labels line. A thin status-color stripe runs down the left edge. The result is calmer and easier to scan than the previous design, where colored label pills competed with everything else and wrapped onto extra lines. Changing an item's status still works exactly as before — click the status tag.

Under the hood

  • Linked-PR and milestone data on the Projects tab piggybacks on the existing Projects v2 GraphQL query (no extra network round trip). The Issues tab enriches REST search results with a single batched GraphQL query.
  • Expanded the automated QA suite to cover the linked-PR indicators and every density preset (including a guard that the Default row never wraps).

Install
