However you raise a good point: exportability/portability of the data...
- hamidpalo 14y agoYou can export data very easily, either using the Trello API or just by appending ".json" to pretty much any URL. For example to get a JSON dump of the resources board: https://trello.com/board/trello-resources/4f84a60f0cbdcb7e7d40e099.json https://trello.com/board/trello-resources/4f84a60f0cbdcb7e7d... (note the .json). Disclaimer: I'm a developer on Trello.
- binxbolling 14y agoHi. I love Trello. But unless you're expecting only developers/programmers to use Trello, then saying "using the Trello API or just by appending '.json' to pretty much any URL" is basically worthless to most people. Our definitions of "very easily" must be enormously different.
- ianthehenry 14y agoData can also be exported with the "Share, Print, and Export" link on every card and on a board's drop-down menu.
- malkarouri 14y agoTrue. On the other hand, it creates some level of trust since any programmer can now implement a Trello alternative for you to port your data to. So making the data available removes a lot of the lock-in. Of course, if the data can be exported in a format immediately usable by an application you already know such as some form of calendar this would be better. But I don't know of an application that overlaps sufficiently with Trello to capture the whole experience.
- gecko 14y agoIf you're ever curious, the Trello board for Trello is public: https://trello.com/board/trello-development/4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c https://trello.com/board/trello-development/4d5ea62fd76aa113... I mention that because a vastly saner export tool that's highly newbie-friendly is outlined at https://trello.com/card/bulk-data-export-for-organizations/4d5ea62fd76aa1136000000c/1289 https://trello.com/card/bulk-data-export-for-organizations/4...
