Ever wished that large Kanban boards could not be squished? Now you can set your own custom Column width for all of your cards on all of your boards.

And what about that "Detail View"? Wouldn't it be cool if you could resize it to whatever size you wanted it to be with a simple drag of your mouse? Now you can! “Better JIRA” unlocks your productivity, getting the software out of your way and into the background where it belongs! JIRA added this feature so we no longer need to add it!

Also including "Standup Mode" that removes all of the clutter to keep your Standups focused and to the point!

Features:

Horizontal Scroll of Kanban boards
Resizable Cards on Kanban boards

Is it possible to make it work with cross-project board like : `https://<company>.atlassian.net/jira/people/712320:4031e64e-e155-4537-95c8-a0f24a3f8598/boards/192/`? It will be really helpful.

Was great. But is broken as of now, does not remove any header and resizes nothing, AFAICS. So needs to be updated, to become that great plugin it was.
