I love Trello, and I their iPhone app is fantastic. My wife and I share a "Household" board that is indispensable to our life now. It has lists: To Do, Scheduled, Doing, Done. I swear it actually makes my marriage happier. Way to go Trello.<p>One gripe, though, with the iPhone app. A lot of times I'll use my time on the BART or stuck in traffic to prepare for different tasks. So for example, I had a card on To Do for a 401k rollover. So on the train one morning I did the research for it. I added comments to the card with account numbers, phone numbers, etc, so that way when I had a moment i could make the calls and everything was in one place. So with all that preamble: Telephone numbers in comments aren't clickable. They look like they are. They turn underlined blue. But clicking them doesn't start the Phone app.
Look cool, I think this is going to get me to finally try trello out.<p>Aside: As a silicon valley person, when viewing videos of people on the east coast I always feel like I'm watching people in another country. Such an odd, overly formal look.
Maybe this is a good place to ask this question: We are considering using Trello for our startup. But we are concerned that when we have a lot of items in a board or list, then the card representation of tasks will make it harder to scan them (compared to the lists that Asana uses). Also, traversing through a lot of tasks in a list is easy in Asana: You just keep pressing the down arrow in the list, and the right side will keep showing you more details about each task. How do we do the same thing in Trello?
Nice I love Trello. Im curious as to what decisions were made while programming the desktop version that prevents it from bing a simple cross-platform web app. I know there are custom scrollbars etc, but it has to be more than that
Love this app, and it's wonderfully to finally have it on the iPad. I think they did some really smart things with the UI, for instance, being able to adjust the space used for comments/description, the navigation at the top of the card, etc. They really put a lot of thought into it.<p>However, two things that bothered me as a heavy Trello user:<p>1) I could not figure out how to move a card from one board to another. Just does not seem to be possible (yet)?<p>2) The drop-down in the upper right corner of a card is where I expected the close button to be, as it is for the web app. I keep tapping it over and over, expecting the card to close, but instead it shows a drop-down menu with one option: "archive"! This feels like a big UI mistake to me.<p>Other than that, a fantastic first release. I can't wait to walk around the office tomorrow with my iPad, tending to projects, instead of always popping open my laptop!
Awesome, but when is the Android app updating to accommodate for tablets? I've seen it in this board (<a href="https://trello.com/board/trello-for-android-development/" rel="nofollow">https://trello.com/board/trello-for-android-development/</a>) for a while as a missing feature, but it hasn't seemed to move forward. Any ETA?
I think Trello is vastly overrated. We have been using AgileZen <a href="http://www.agilezen.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.agilezen.com/</a> and find it much more effective. Trello has some nice features, but I think that the cards get too busy very quickly. It becomes hard to scan the tasks and details get lost on the back of the card.
Yay, didn't show up on the App store but by going to Safari->Trello->link I found it.<p>I'm very much looking forward to a more native implementation of this stuff. It's a natural use case for the iPad. Now to see if I can attach Notable documents to my boards ...
It's awesome and Fog Creek is awesome. Just reading this makes me a happy panda: <a href="http://www.fogcreek.com/about" rel="nofollow">http://www.fogcreek.com/about</a>.
Nice. From a technical point of view, I wonder, is this written using the same HTML/CSS/JavaScript code used in the browser, say using something like PhoneGap? Or did they they rewrite the entire app all-over again for iOS, Android and Windows Phone?<p>Seems like a pretty daunting task to keep their site, their iOS, their Android and their Windows Phone app all in sync with functionality and UI.<p>Any Trello developers care to share the secret?
Very excited to see the images on cards being prominently displayed. I hope that feature is brought back to the iPhone.<p>There are certain visual projects that I use Trello for on my iPhone that I wish could to see the attached images for each card. Describing items that are going through a flow is difficult when they're all the same item but look different.
I'm playing with this now, and it's enough to make me want an iPad/iPad mini.<p>However: it seems that when you're offline (eg: away from wifi / on a plane, etc) the app becomes Read Only. This means no adding to cards, creating new cards, etc.<p>Is there a technical limitation which means that changes made offline couldn't just be sync'ed back later on?
Trello is beautiful, I'll give you that, but I miss having access to my data while offline. For that, I prefer Priority Matrix, which is as straightforward to use, and it allows me to work on a plane and sync when I get online.
This is good news. I've been using Trello for a while now, my main use is to keep track of my clients/projects/tasks,
I really hope it stays free forever (like they say)
I just signed up for a trial, and I haven't actually used it yet, but I have to say, the happy little dog that's everywhere on the web interface is adorable.
