Cards and heat

With dozens of threads running, you need to see what is going cold or going wrong without opening anything. Each task is a card, and each card carries a heat: a live urgency that rises on its own as a deadline nears or as recurring work goes unattended. Stale work turns red without anyone touching it.

The card shows a task’s title, status, dates and the people and work around it at a glance. Heat colours the card and counts up on the thread and group. A hover card explains why a task is as hot as it is, so no colour has to be taken on trust. Threads also carry a certainty mark that says how well the work is understood. A few actions can be done straight from the card.
