Alzter (ID: 000000aa7debaebf) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/18/2021 This is great but I've found a bug that holds this extension back from being amazing. Every time I load my Trello board in my browser, the swimlanes don't change the position of the lists (they still are in one great horizontal line) until I edit the name of one of the swim lane starter lists. I can imagine editing the name of lists every time I want to view my Trello board getting irritating easily so I'm hoping this is fixed :)
