I think Trello is fantastic. It's a game-changer for development and project management, even if you use it solo. My only problem is I can't use it at work due to our privacy and regulatory requirements.
Fog Creek: A version we can host ourselves, please! We would pay fogbugz-levels if not more.
- mhp 14y agoI know it's not what you want to hear, but we have no plans to make a self-hosted version.
- bonaldi 14y agoYes, I should have said I've seen that in your FAQs. I understand it, of course, but it's a great pity -- the demand is relatively high, judging by the numbers of forum posts looking for "trello alternatives" out there. It wouldn't even have to be updated anything like as frequently as real Trello, or at all. A stable snapshot, with security updates if you found egregious holes, would be more than enough.
- tedunangst 14y agoIt's very hard to sell a product only to "understanding" customers, because I doubt they would agree on what "as frequently" means. Or how much self-assembly is required to put the whole thing together if there's no installer. People will say they just want a zip of .js files and they'll be happy to get it running, but when they get that zip file they get very angry, not happy. I've seen it happen too often. "When you said it had some rough edges, I thought you meant ..."
- abcd_f 14y agoEver considered selling it in a form of an installable appliance?
- pinko 14y agoAll you need is a Greasemonkey script to encrypt/decrypt everything as it goes in or out. I'm only 90% kidding.
- DanielBMarkham 14y agoThis is actually a very interesting idea. I work with Agile teams, and putting data on other people's servers is a BIG hang-up for a lot of companies. Even when we assure them that it's not requirements or specs, just symbolic work tokens, they still freak out. If you encrypted it client-side, you could make the argument that nobody without the encryption plug-in could see any of it -- that you're just storing encrypted blobs somewhere. It probably still wouldn't fly -- I have my suspicions that much of these conversations revolve around control, not security or policy, but it would be worth giving it a shot.
- wallflower 14y agoYes, at some of these companies, you are not allowed to use Google Docs for coordination but Sales gets to use Salesforce.com because that is the industry standard.
- Brajeshwar 14y agoYou seem to be looking for Fogbugz. http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/ http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/
- tedunangst 14y agoApart from the fact that they are very different products, bonaldi saying he would pay "fogbugz-level" prices implies he already knows about FogBugz.
