Yeah, this would work, but I’d like to see something more robust. I think it is pretty common to create lists or have sequential cards. If you imagine in a text document context, it is super easy to add an item in the middle. You place your cursor and hit return, and everything below gets shifted down. (as @whichrabbit said, this is not an easy problem to solve, so just thinking out loud)
What if there were a list/column container that all the cards in this container would have this certain behavior. So you can click between two items to insert. And you can drag items up and down, and the other items will flow around it and keep things tight once you drop it.
A separate thought: it’s super nice to be able to place cards anywhere and even have them touching and overlapping. But at other times, I really want all cards to be visible and have no overlap. This is where it gets tedious in dense spaces to make room so everything is visible. Continuing on this container idea, what if there were a blob container that would keep a set of cards all in a bunch. And clicking anywhere on that container would add a card there, tied to the rest. Oftentimes, I want to add a card to a group like this, but it takes a lot of manual effort to arrange them so they look like part of a group.
Yeah, exactly this. Sub-networks are connected to other groups, so ⌘-clicking doesn’t work.
just wanted to get some thoughts out here
