Feature Idea: Timeline / Gantt

Summary: Focalboard should also have a timeline / roadmap

How important is this:: It's tough to define the importance but let me put it this way... everyone else you compare yourself to, has it (sometimes with third-party tools).

On the Focalboard website the catch is "Focalboard is an open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana." Since I tried Trello and Asana within the last months I wanted to test focalboard next. Sadly the timeline / gantt / roadmap is an essential feature (for me). Since there is none, I just can't jump in and use it.

Importance: Medium / High

Use cases:

  1. Timeline view (Gantt chart)
  2. Project roadmap / status
  3. "project planning" in general?

Additional context / similar features: I didn't try Notion but they have one too apparently: https://www.notion.vip/meet-notions-timeline-view/ TeamGantt for Trello looks stunning: https://www.teamgantt.com Asana has a great timeline implemented: https://asana.com/product/timeline
