# Known limits
What Narabe does not do yet, stated plainly. Each is a good first issue
to open.
* **No virtualization.** Every row of a list, a tree or a board is in the
page, all the time. That is fine to a few thousand items; past that,
show a page of them, or, in a tree, load children as rows open
(`item_children`).
* **Trees are flat rows from the server.** The server renders a tree's
loaded items as one flat run of rows, each with its level, and sends
them again on a change. A big tree is a big render.
* **The filter is the browser's.** It finds the loaded items whose label
has the text, as a plain substring; it does not ask the server, and it
does not match words out of order or typos.
* **Rebalancing writes the whole scope.** When a key grows too long, or
on `Narabe.Ecto.rebalance/3`, every key of the list, column or parent
is written anew, not a window around the move: 10,000 rows take about
a second on Postgres (see the [Database](database.md) guide).
* **Deep trees on MySQL.** MySQL stops a recursive query at 1,000 levels
(`cte_max_recursion_depth`), so a tree deeper than that cannot be
moved there.
* **Columns move by pointer only.** A board's columns move by the handle
in their header; the keyboard moves cards, not columns.
* **Kinds per column, on the server.** `Narabe.Ecto` takes one kind for
all of a board's columns (`:group_kind`); rules for columns of
different kinds are checked in the browser only.
* **Boards take lists.** A board's columns and cards are lists, not
streams: it renders again after a move.
* **Browsers.** The browser tests run in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit in
CI. Touch is tested in Chromium's emulation only, not on phones
themselves.
* **Screen readers.** The roles and announcements are tested in three
browsers; not yet with VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS themselves.
* **Forced colors.** There are no styles of their own for Windows' forced
colors yet.
