The Tylon backlog
A title, a description, a discussion. Nothing here touches Git.

A list, not a column

The backlog grows without bound, which is why it is not on the board. You reorder it, search it, and pick from it — the things you do to a list. A column that grew to four hundred cards would stop being a board.

Starting one is the deliberate act

Moving a card out of here is what cuts the branch. That is why it is a move and not a checkbox: it asks which repositories the card touches, because that answer decides what gets created and where it is cut from. Until then a card is a draft, and deleting one costs nothing.
Write the title and press Enter. Everything else can be filled in later — the point of a backlog is that an idea can be captured in the four seconds somebody has for it.
