Thumbnail feature

[alanjfs]

Hi @nishantpainter, I really like this project and would like to replace my daily use of Trello with it as soon as possible. The main appeal for me however is the ability to replace/augment card titles with thumbnails (called "covers").

For example.

It makes reading a whole board at a glance much more interesting, and lets you highlight which cards are more important in order of how much attention they capture, (1) just using text for least important, (2) static images for somewhat important and (3) gifs for critical.

I figure the main hurdle from an implementation standpoint is hosting the images. But for that, I would recommend just hosting on GitHub itself; any images dragged into an issue (like this one) creates a public, permanent and anonymous link that should take the burden off hosting for you. The app could potentially take a username to let users upload to their own account; but from experience, any username will do and images aren't tied in any way to that username (and won't be deleted alongside it).

Anyway, just checking if this is of interest. Since I use Trello a lot, but would much prefer an open source, self-hosted option, I'd be interested in contributing to the project to better fit my needs if it turns out we're after the same thing.

@alanjfs for now there aren't any plans for image or gif update. For classification the column / record background colour is a simple approach currently. I'll look forward to your suggestion in near future. :)
