Is there a way to hide card content below a certain point? For example:
Here is my card content
It is all visible
But this is not visible on my board unless I select the card.
It can be a huge long document, if I want.
It functions similarly to the “back” of a Trello card.
Here is my card content
I don’t see anything in this post? did you mean to upload an image?
That said, you can make the card into a comment to hide it’s text
Sorry, example wasn’t very clear. From “Here is my content…” to “…visible” would be visible on the card, and everything below the — would be hidden (“But this is…” to “…Trello card.”)
sorry i’m still not understanding . if the card in it’s entirety was
Lorem ipsum (/ˌlɔː.rəm ˈɪp.səm/ LOR-əm IP-səm) is a dummy or placeholder text commonly used in graphic design, publishing, and web development. Its purpose is to permit a page layout to be designed, independently of the copy that will subsequently populate it, or to demonstrate various fonts of a typeface without meaningful text that could be distracting.
Lorem ipsum is typically a corrupted version of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC text by the Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed to make it nonsensical and improper Latin. The first two words are the truncation of dolorem ipsum ("pain itself").
how would you like this card to be displayed?
So, if I wanted to hide everything after Lorem ipsum, for example, I’d type this into the card:
Lorem ipsum
— (or some kind of delimiter)

oh i see, you want to be able to manually truncate a card.
in trello does the truncation happen on it’s own after a certain number of characters tho?
In Trello, it happens naturally by using a title for the “front” of the card and a description for the “back.” So there are two separate fields. But I thought that adding a “hide everything below this point” feature to Kinopio would create a similar result.
Some software such as screenplay software will have a “summary” vs “full text” - similar effect as “front” and “back”.
does screenplay software have separate input fields for ‘summary’ and ‘full text’ ?
Sometimes yes though perhaps not named with those conventions.
Final Draft (industry standard) feels quite inconsistent in this regard but I’m not an expert in that software. Software like Beat uses Fountain screenwriting syntax which includes markup for “summary”. In that program, if in card view you can select a pencil icon which allows you to insert a summary. If you simply write into the script in script view, I believe the card just shows the first line of body copy or something like that.
If there was a separate input field for summary that would be useful for creating a beat board or event list for plotting story. without a summary it could just show full text. or perhaps some ability to choose one or both. Though one can see how this gets a little nutty pretty quickly.
