A list tile for Metro: the work itself, with a tick — not just a count
Two new Metro tiles — "My open tasks today" and "My open overdue tasks" — show the work instead of the number: up to six of your own open rows with title, deadline, project and customer, each finished by the tick right on the board.

Metro was built for the glance: tiles that give your day as numbers — so many tasks due today, so many overdue. But a number only says how many, never what. To see what those two overdue tasks actually were, you left for the my-work screen, and once one of them was done you went back again just to tick it off. Every small decision cost a round trip to another page.
Two new tiles now wait in the tile picker: "My open tasks today" and "My open overdue tasks". Instead of a count, they show the work itself — the first six of your own open rows, each with its title, its deadline (red when late), its project, and the chip of the customer the task is for. That chip matters: "follow up to arrange a meeting" never says who to call.
The best part is the tick beside each row: it finishes the task right there on the board. It runs the same path the my-work screen runs — the same access check, the same move into the board's done column — just without the round trip. The rows are read live every time the board refreshes (the board updates itself once a minute), so a ticked row leaves the board at once instead of lingering on it. More than six waiting? "Open the list" takes you to the whole thing. Nothing left? The tile congratulates you and says so.
To place one, hit "Edit board" in Metro and pick it from the add-tile sheet. A list tile sits wide only — it is for reading, not glancing — and it is not placed for you by default; that choice is yours. The number tiles stay where they were: whoever prefers the count keeps it, and whoever wants the work on the board itself now has it.
