Features

BoardManager turns VS Code: into a local, offline-first board and workspace manager.

Installation

Install from the VS Code: Marketplace or open the command palette and run:

ext install BoardManager.boardmanager

Usage

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
2. Run BoardManager: Open Board.
3. Create a workspace or join one with an invite code.
4. Add columns, tasks, assign owners, set priorities, and track progress with checklists.

• Extension host (src/extension.js) handles commands, state persistence, and message dispatch.
• Webview renders the UI, manages local interactions, and posts changes back to the host.
• Storage uses vscode.ExtensionContext.globalState so your boards survive across sessions and window reloads.
