Kanban Reading Board

I think I finally may have found a great way for me to track my reading without the use of predatory platforms and cloud-based services; a plain text Kanban board dedicated to books and reading.

@readbeanicecream That's a very clean and straightforward way to organize your reading life.

Plus, for people who like to keep the web browser at the centre of their workflow, that can be pointed at the Kanban folder and would be a fairly nice way to move around in there, in a read-only fashion.

Love the "Plain Text Kanban Board" idea and, if I may, I'd like to add a comment.

I've always considered "blockers" (a.k.a. blocked items) not as a specific status (as Backlog, To Do, In Progress and Done are), but a condition of the work item itself, usually available during the "In Progress" phase (only).
