Thanks! I haven't moved off Trello yet because the mobile app works really well for me. I'll have to check out the Obsidian apps again though.

  The mobile app is great, agreed. The Obsidian app is more or less as fast to load, but perhaps not as simple to navigate. It's just I can't build any kind of permanent repository on Trello, nor note take as simply. Much appreciated!

Do you use the Kanban plugin for Obsidian? Or do you do a different workflow?
- luxpir 5y ago
  Different workflow. I use one page for "today" where I have a checklist at the top and when items are complete I paste them to the bottom manually. I did try the kanban plugin but tbh it was more work than it was worth. I link out to my various projects from the "today" page and keep separate notes there. Then I can have some annual and longer term strategy pages elsewhere. In Trello I used to have one board for every year, but as there are only so many boards available on the free tier that wasn't sustainable. Plus scrolling along wide boards didn't work well for me on mobile. I use the sliding panes plugin, the natural language dates and the day planner, but try to keep it slimmed down. I sync with Syncthing to phone. Quasi-instant. I still have to fight the cruft building up, if I take my eye off the structure for a few days or a week it can get quite messy. But that's on me. I can't imagine a system that would automate correct placement of notes as a running stream I enter on one page. But now that I say it... it sounds like a killer SaaS project. I don't think it's one for me, but I'd definitely grab a plugin that did that. Even if I had to use tags at the end of the note to manually designate where it should go.

yeah, trello always seemed best for organizing an ongoing new development effort and less great for understanding history (and preventing it from repeating) as well as finding old context and bug tracking.

How do you pull in the old trello boards into Obsidian?
- luxpir 5y ago
  I'll grab the markdown folder from t2md and put it in my vault. I think that's it! On me to make any links required for the graph but I think I'll just keep it as a reference.
