Several major +1s:
1) Use of Google login, with ability to set a password to log in without that. I LOVE this, and it fits with what Joel (and Jeff Atwood) have been proselytizing for a while about the use of OpenID.
2) Awesome, responsive UI.
Also a few -1s:
1) No indication about pricing plans. Is this going to cost money one day? EDIT: I see now that you mention in the blog post that it’s free. And the site says "Creating an account is free and easy", but you know how often sites say that but mean "creating an account is easy, but to use our software in any meaningful way you’ll have to pay."
2) I had a problem when I created a new board. The UI took a while to respond, during which time I got confused, created another new board with the same name, and ended up with two new boards with the same name.
Suggestion: The menu that opens when you click the arrow in the corner of a card should open with right-click as well. This is how assembla’s card board works, and I like it that way.
Suggestion: Labels should take one click, rather than two. On the menu row for labels just have six colored squares to click on. Maybe that won’t work so well for smartphone users, but for a desktop, I’d rather save the click.
- shneusk 15y agoapply labels by hovering over a card and hitting a number key
- mkopinsky 15y agoCool, but if it ain't documented, it don't exist. (I guess now it's documented in this HN comment. :-))
- jjg 15y agoAlso documented here: https://trello.com/shortcuts https://trello.com/shortcuts
- ianthehenry 15y agoIf you click the manual icon in the menu, you can get to a list of the keyboard shortcuts. Direct link: https://trello.com/shortcuts https://trello.com/shortcuts
- spolsky 15y agoPretty sure this feature is in the online help, along with lots of other cool tricks
- mkopinsky 15y agoDidn't notice the online help initially. Thanks for pointing it out. Shouldn't Assign be "Hover + [Space]" rather than just "[Space]"?
- devin 15y agoNot directly related to this string of comments, but as far as providing feedback... How can I do this? I don't see an obvious place to provide feedback. Markdown code blocks don't seem to be working. (You can't put 4 spaces before code, but backticks work)
- mhp 15y agoI think #2 problem was related to this by looking at your comment timing: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2993983 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2993983
- mkopinsky 15y ago#2 occurred 15 minutes ago. Not necessarily related to that issue, but possibly another quirk. Related: Is there a way to delete boards, or just to close them? I now have two junk boards (the original duplicate, and an empty board I just created to test) and I can imagine that list can get full pretty quick.
- mkopinsky 15y agoWhat do the colored squares over my avatar mean?
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- jjg 15y agoIt indicates your online status. Green: Online and active, Yellow: Online, but inactive, Grey: Not online When someone is online it means that they're connected to Trello, but they're not necessarily looking at the same board as you.
- LearnYouALisp 15y agoThanks for explaining that. I would have expected mouseover text for those like there is for the blue square.
- bobbygrace 15y agoThe blue icon means you're an admin of the board (or organization). The green/yellow/grey icon means you're online/idle/offline.
