When to use it
Where Kanban earns its place
Reach for Kanban
- Work moving through a fixed set of stages everyone on the team names the same way.
- Sets small enough that a column can be read top to bottom: a sprint, a quarter's open deals.
- When the shape of the work is the question: where things pile up, what has stalled.
- Records whose status changes far more often than any of their other fields.
Reach for something else
- Items genuinely in two states at once, or whose status is derived. A table with a status column and filters does not force a single bucket.
- Columns hundreds of cards deep. Nobody scrolls that far; a filtered list or a saved table view finds the record instead.
- Planning by date. A board says what stage something is at and nothing about when: a calendar or a schedule view answers that.

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.
- Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
- Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
- More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
- Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
- Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
- Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.

Questions about Task board, ink.
What is the Task board, ink block?
Task board, ink is a Kanban block from Orvain UI, built for React and Vue with a matching Figma frame. Best for quiet team boards and editorial calendars where the cards carry the colour of the work, not the chrome.
What is the Task board, ink block made of?
7 parts: one white board split by hairlines; search and All / Mine / Urgent; grey cards: meta line with the tag, larger title, one-line description, progress ring and counts, cover to the edges; ink quick-action pill; a dragged card folds into an ink pill and the column opens a Drop in slot; keyboard lift turns the card ink; and columns stack and fold on a phone. Keep them all, or drop the ones your product does not need; the rest of the block holds together without them.
Is the Task board, ink block responsive?
Yes. It is drawn at 1120px and never stretched past that. Below it, its controls, text and spacing step down with the container the block sits in rather than the browser window, so it holds up in a sidebar, a tablet layout and a 390px phone without clipping or sideways scrolling.
Is the Task board, ink block accessible?
It ships with text labels on every icon-only button, full keyboard reach with a visible focus ring, states that never rely on colour alone, text contrast that holds when you retheme it, no animation for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and click targets of at least 24px.
How do I add the Task board, ink block to my project?
It is part of every Orvain Library plan: the React and Vue code, its frame in the Orvain Figma file, and the Orvain MCP server. With the MCP connected, an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or v0 can build it from one line: “Add the Orvain Task board, ink block to this page.”
When should I not use a Kanban block?
Items genuinely in two states at once, or whose status is derived. A table with a status column and filters does not force a single bucket.
