What Old Skool Board can do
Board layout
- Three-column board — To Do, In Progress, and Done — Jira statuses mapped to status categories
- Sub-task lanes in the In Progress column, driven by your Jira workflow
- Split-pane layout — fixed parent item panel with scrollable sub-task lanes
- Epic chips on cards, colour-coded to match Jira
- Issue type icons on every card
- Kanban retention — hide completed items older than 1, 2, or 4 weeks

- @mentions — type
@to search and mention teammates - Comments — read, add, and reply
- Linked issues and sub-tasks, with drill-in navigation
