[Potential Bug] "Clear all" button isn't removing applied filters

[vkWeb]

When clicking on the "Clear all" button after applying some filters, I believe it should remove all the applied filters. Currently, this looks broken, clicking on "Clear all" takes me to Activity page.

Is this an intended behavior? May be I am missing something? or may be its a bug?

PS: I was waiting for Fizzy and it finally dropped. Looking cool so far!

Yeah, that's intended. It clears the filters and navigates back home.

Okay, cool, I get that. Just a little suggestion on the UX front:

Suppose I am on a board, I want to see cards assigned to somebody, after I clear the filters it takes me to home then I have go back to that board again. "Clear all" should do what it says -- clear all the filters, stay on the current board as if no filters have been applied. Think on this a little.

Feel free to ignore the suggestion if it doesn't make sense :D

PS: Jason, I really admire your CSS work on Campfire!

Thanks, @vkWeb I appreciate that.

I agree this isn't quite the behavior we want here. It should do as you say but there are a number of cases where it doesn't have the board context so clear all lands you on an odd "All boards" view that isn't very helpful. We're not entirely satisfied with the filtering UI in general so I'm hoping when we get around to revamping that we'll solve this problem, too. For now I think going home feels better more often than not. It's a compromise, though.

It's really great @jzimdars that you guys are already thinking on revamping the filtering UI.

I have an idea (feel free to ignore if doesn't sounds right) that might fit the appetite to fix this for short-term (or maybe long-term) -- we have an "all boards" view at https://app.fizzy.do/<user_unique_id>/cards. Currently, I couldn't find a way to go to the all boards view from the UI. So firstly, we make this all boards view more visible. Then, we should show the board filter only on this all boards view because when I am on a particular board and filtering there then I just care about that particular board not any other.

So, to put it in concrete steps:

1. Show all boards view in the UI somewhere appropriate.
2. Show board filter only on all boards view.
3. Clear all IMHO shouldn't redirect at all, just clear applied filters.
4. We have fixed it.
