Microsoft Retires the Board View from the OWA Calendar
The Outlook board view originated as Project Moca, an app to organize items from Outlook and other sources, then became the board view in the OWA calendar. That status lasted two years and now Mi...
Super disappointing that Outlook board view was retired; like others I also only recently discovered this feature and had been sharing it with coworkers as a productivity tool. The only similar platforms I can think of are:
- Trello.com - board view with lists is free; aesthetic is also similar to MS Planner but with less functionality; additional views require a paid Premium account. (Note: There weren't as many paywalls before Trello was required by Atlassian.)
- Opera browser's Pinboards (beta) - I've become obsessed with Opera browser. While I still use Google Chrome, I now use it less often; even with the OneTab Chrome extension, Opera uses less memory than Chrome and is better at promoting beta features. The in-built Pinboards feature is similar to Pinterest and has both board and list view of all your pinboards; each pinboard has cards where text and links can be added; however, that is where the functionality ends - a fun way to store information but no ability to create a task or assign a due date.
