- debacle 10y agoThe trello UI is also great. If you don't need the back-end features of something like Jira, trello's limited functionality greatly reduced the friction to tracking your activities.
- noir_lord 10y agoTheir API is outstanding as well. You can talk to it from just about everywhere including the terminal, that's a big reason I use it, it acts as a clearing house for all my stuff, I even use a chrome plugin to store "bookmarks" to stuff I've clipped.
- vidarh 10y agoThat they were bought by Atlassian fills me with dread because of precedents set by their other products. I use Trello (and pay for it) exactly because I don't want anything like Jira.
- danmaz74 10y agoHopefully they are smart enough to keep the products differentiated. Otherwise, a Trello clone will surely arise.
- vidarh 10y agoThere is at least one, but I don't know whether it's any good. I'm a bit tempted to write one, partially because I have a thing about self hosting my data, but also because I love the overall idea and design of Trello, but I'd love it to be more extensible/flexible/hackable. E.g. being able to make layout changes(have lists that span columns for example, or cards that show more of their information on the cover). Or more flexibility in colour changes/background, or ability to style cards.

- vidarh 10y agoI'm not surprised... Thanks for the suggestion.
