Support arranging Trello lists into horizontal swimlanes. To start a new swimlane, just add | or a swimmer emoji to a list's header.

Trello is a handy tool for keeping track of list items, but it limits you to a single row of lists. This lightweight, keep-it-simple extension for Trello allows you to create multiple horizontal "swimlanes" of lists.

Just add the | character or swimmer emoji 🏊 to the header of any list that should start a swimlane, and you're all set! The lane will be labeled with whatever text follows the swimmer, so if the header reads "Backlog for |Project X", that lane's label will read "Project X".

Moving lists around can cause Trello to get confused and show everything in one lane again; just reload the page to fix it. You may also find it easier to toggle off the extension, re-arrange your lists, and then re-enable the extension. (This is not ideal, for certain, but it's so far unavoidable.)

Note: the extension may ask for permission to view your browsing history. This is to allow it to activate itself only on Trello pages; it is inactive anywhere else. It does not and will not collect, save, or transmit your browsing history.

Still works in 2022! I've only tested it on a few cards so far but seems to be working great if you don't mind refreshing after editing or moving columns.

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 :)

Very good extension although for some reason the Swimlane doesn't work anymore. I needed to refresh many times or click boards in the left panel to make it work.

Steep learning curve, annoying at first until you see what it's doing. But in the end it works.

Thank you for creating so desirable option!

The only one thing I am conserned about is it doesn't work ?
I see the extesion icon, it is turned on, full access was granted to trello.com (no more permissions is required in the settings). I am trying to add or swimmemodji and nothing happens.
I'm logged in Trello as an Atlassian user, i'm currently the only team member with this extention installed
What am i doing wrong? Please help
