The "board" screenshot looks suspiciously similar to Trello. I wonder how much they aped its design for this?

it is true but both trello and this app is based on Kanban, which tons of other productivity tools like Jira implement so I guess it can't be blamed too much

  You're right. For example, here is a screenshot from July of 2011 from some other software, two months before trello was released: https://ketiljensen.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/kanbanboard.jpg https://ketiljensen.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/kanbanboard....

  There's 'cards in columns' and then there's cards with images, owners, checklists and due dates on them.

    Ya .... its Trello.

      No, it's literally every kanban software - ever.

    I've been using ZenHub. Ditto. (along with many other similar tools)

    yup, that's what jira does.

  This. Trello is the most visible, but there are many others that are similar. Feels natural to follow what works rather than reinvent the wheel as a pentagon.

    Or making a bumpy wheel, which is what I expect the MS Office 365 version to be. Whatever it is, it has to beat Trello AND be worth the license.

      Maybe, or maybe it just needs to be good enough for people who already use Office for everything else.
      - whatever_dude 10y ago
        Something for corporate talking heads to recommend to their teams who have been insisting on trying Trello. "I heard you want to use Trello? Here, our business plan includes this thing called Planner. Use it."
