Feature request: add limit and hide functionality

Limit feature
In some kanban boards one can set a limit for each column. With that, you can only put like three tasks in a column with a limit set to three. This limit is often shown in brackets after the title of this column.

Hide Board feature
Not sure if this has been already mentioned here or on Discourse, but it would be great if there'd be a button where one can toggle the visibility of the board, as it can be a little annoying to always have the board open when editing some tasks, as the preview would be very narrow or one could not use the preview whilst editing.

Could you elaborate on the use case for this? I'm just not sure I understood why you need it.

The hide board feature does make sense, I think it was even on some early mock-up. I've put it on my todo list, but it might take a while before I get to it.

Thanks for having that on your TODO list!
On many Kanban boards, you can restrict that a maximum number of tasks can be pushed into one column.
This way you can prevent having too many tasks in the "In Progress" column, for example.
One way of implementing this would be to issue a warning if too many tasks are moved into this category (pop-up).
This task limit could be displayed in brackets next to the title of the column.
Is it now clear what I mean? Otherwise you'll find a picture of such a limited Kanban board here:
