Description

Currently, the default board when opening the Deck app is the 'overview board'. This becomes very frustrating, over time, when I navigate away from Deck and then go back expecting to see the board I was already working on but instead having to, yet again, navigate away from the overview board.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have options as to which board opens on start.

  • Default to overview
  • Default to last viewed
  • Default to specified board [on click list of boards shown and user selects one]

Describe alternatives you've considered

I couldn't come up with a solution other than using direct links to the board I was working on - which is not very practical.

Research direction

Start by tracing Deck's app startup and board-selection flow to find where the overview board is chosen. Check how user preferences and board lists are handled, then define the setting UI and persistence for overview, last viewed, or a specified board; done means reopening Deck follows the selected option.
