Thanks, but Trello is closer to what I'm looking for.
What I really want is something *very *simple, like a clipboard where I can
have different color tags serving as a visual reminder that I have a given
set of assignments in my queue. I'm wanting a very simple right-brain
approach; AirTable is more for left-brained PMs (like MS Project). I don't
need details, just a visual reminder of what's due and to whom.
