"use": "The normal case — an entry over two lines. The first says what it is about, the second whom it belongs to. On the right stands a column of fixed width, here the deadline. There is no third line of text; what would land there belongs into the column on the right or onto the detail page.",
"decisions": [
"Exactly one secondary line: the first line says what the entry is about, the second whom it belongs to. What does not fit there goes into the column on the right or onto the detail page — three lines per entry turn a list into a block of text in which nothing is found.",
"The deadline column has a fixed width: otherwise each deadline starts somewhere else and they form no line along which they can be compared.",
"A deadline is a date, and a near one says how near beside it — “08/26/2026 · in 2 days”: whoever passes a deadline on needs the date, so it stands in the line for everyone, not only on hover. Its time stands in the time element's datetime."
